Nawanshahr, November 7 (Jatinder Pal Singh Kaler):- Senior BJP leader and former District President Ashok Banth Rattewal (Retired IPS) and senior BJP leader Shubhash Banth Rattewal, while speaking to journalists in Kathgarh, reacted to the joining of three Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs in the BJP, stating that it marks a major turning point in Punjab politics and has exposed the party’s internal situation. They said that the party which came to power promising change and honest politics now has its own leaders becoming disillusioned with its policies and moving towards other parties.
They said that the joining of leaders such as Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, Chetan Singh Jouramajra and Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra with the BJP is a major political setback for AAP. They stated that the people of Punjab had given the government an opportunity with hopes of change, but issues such as drug abuse, unemployment, the poor condition of industries and deteriorating law and order continue to pose serious challenges. They said that politics cannot be run merely through advertisements, speeches and election promises; rather, the government's performance must be visible at the grassroots level. Punjab's youth are moving abroad in search of employment, the business community is concerned about security, and the drug problem remains a serious social concern. The government must be held accountable for these issues.
They further said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah's resolve to form an NDA government in Punjab has brought new hope for the state. The BJP is committed to making Punjab drug-free, providing employment to the youth, boosting industries and strengthening the economy. Punjab needs a government that delivers results rather than merely making announcements.
