Chandigarh, November 17

In the run-up to the MC elections, the Pendu Sangharsh Committee, Chandigarh, a citizens’ group, has launched a campaign against the BJP in 23 villages of the UT as per the guidelines of the Sanyukta Kisan Morcha. Gurpreet Singh Somal, general secretary of the committee, said the campaign was started from Khuda Jassu village.

Committee’s central executives Baba Sadhu Singh, Baba Gurdial Singh, Joginder Singh Burail, Joga Singh Kajheri, Sharanjit Singh, Amrik Singh, Harbans Singh, Gurminder Singh and Amanjot Singh, along with the youth of the village, appealed to the people to vote for any party except the BJP in the coming elections.

Somal said, “The committee does not promote or support any particular party. People are free to cast their vote to any person or party. Committee members went door to door and distributed leaflets in the villages of Lahora, Khuda Jassu and Sarangpur.”

The members of the committee told the people that the BJP government was passing deadly policies on a daily basis and it was going to be a year since the farmers had been sitting at the borders of Delhi but the government had not agreed to meet farmers’ demands. — TNS
