CHANDIGARH: The BJP candidate from city for Lok Sabha elections, Satya Pal Jain, has accused the Congress of trying to mislead people by giving out wrong inflation-related statistics. Contrary to what was being claimed, he asserted: “Prices of many commodities have gone up by 15% to 20%.” Jain addressed various public meetings in Sectors 22, 24, 32, 40, 48 and Indira Colony, Manimajra, on Sunday. Criticizing the Congress, the BJP leader said law and order situation had deteriorated, terror had been let loose and inflation had touched a new high during the party’s regime. “Ex-servicemen, who spend their lives in the service of country, were pushed to the wall and had no choice other than returning their medals,” he added.
He rapped the ruling government for ignoring the interests of various sections, adding nothing had been done to create new jobs. Garnering votes for Lal Krishna Advani as the prime minister, he asked those present to defeat the Congress. “BJP-led NDA government will ensure all-round development of the city, and participation of its citizens in decision-making process will be made a permanent feature,” Jain said. He promised to ensure the construction of flyovers, along with multi-storey and underground parking lots to lessen traffic and parking woes.
