AKHNOOR, Nov 1: Describing Congress party as historical movement which has steered the country towards new heights during the past over five decades, Minister for PHE and senior leader of Congress, Sham Lal Sharma has maintained that party has given many sacrifices for the nation and has glorious history of serving the people for longest period.
Addressing election meetings at village Dhok Khalsa and Chack Bhagwana in Akhnoor constituency today, the Minister said that only Congress can provide stable, accountable and transparent governance in the State, adding that the party has devised a well-knit strategy to eradicate the poverty and meet the challenges of unemployment and food security. He urged the party workers to take the programmes and policies of the party before the people and seek massive mandate for the Congress party in the Assembly elections.
Asking the workers to expose the divisive design of PDP and BJP, who have hidden agenda of dividing the masses in the name of religion, regionalism and communal lines, Sham Lal said these parties are opportunists and only incite the sentiments of innocent people which ultimately create unrest in the society. People must understand the game plan of these parties and give befitting reply in the elections.
“People want development, peace and security, which can only be ensured by the Congress being the secular force in the country. People should fight against these disgruntled forces unitedly and ensure the victory of the Congress candidates in all segments so that the tempo of all round development and welfare of people is accelerated,” Mr Sharma added.
Maintaining that the PDP has lost its ground in the State, he said the party is now trying to advance with the BJP to gain powers which shows the hidden agenda of both these parties. He referred to the experience with the PDP when it was alliance partner with the Congress in the State, adding that it enjoyed the powers during the first three years, but when it shifted the powers to Congress, it started finding faults in the Congress and ultimately pulled the support in the mid-way. The PDP is power hungry and it has nothing to do with the welfare and problems of the people. He said the people will reject such forces out rightly in the election.
