PANCHKULA: Haryana BJP president O P Dhankar promised to make the district a national-level business hub if the party comes to power in the municipal elections.
During a press conference at the party office in Sector 8 on Monday, Dhankar said: “No previsous government in Haryana had the guts to call a direct election for mayor.”
Party’s mayoral candidate, Kulbhushan Goyal, campaigned in the city, poor colonies, and villages. Goyal said: “The BJP has ended the era where horse-trading made mayors.” At Rajiv Colony, Indira Colony, Khadak Mangoli, Madrasi Colony, and Ashiana Complex, he spoke of civic amenities.
Goyal said: “Under the BJP. The shortage of electricity and water has reduced. The 100-bedded hospital was upgraded to 300 beds. Dialysis, MRI, CT scan, and heart cath lab were added to the government hospital.”
