Sangrur, July 15

SAD (Sanyukt) leader Parminder Dhindsa, who is a former minister and current MLA from Lehra, today led a protest here against the rising prices of petrol and diesel. Dhindsa said they were trying to form a third front in Punjab to give better governance to residents.

“We have left Badals and their party as we want to work honestly for the development of the state. We are open for an alliance with like-minded parties,” said Dhindsa while leading the protest in front of the Sangrur DC’s office.

About announcements of free electricity to residents by various political parties, Dhindsa said freebies should be given on economic basis and not to everyone. “More than 50 per cent residents of the state want good facilities and they are willing to pay for them,” he said. — TNS
