S.P.Pandey,Chandigarh, April 16 : BJP candidate for Chandigarh Lok Sabha Constituency Mr Satya Pal Jain today held Congress leaders including the local MP responsible for the ongoing auto-rickshaw strike in Chandigarh Panchkula Mohali and said those who talk of development have neglected the need of good transport policies in the tri-city. He said the anti people policies of the Congress party and Congress leadership are responsible for the ongoing auto strike which has caused a great deal of harassment to the people, especially the school going children and office-goers.
During his padyatras in Maloya and Sector 20 Mr Jain assured people that on coming to power in the centre BJP will ensure that CTU runs environment friendly LPG fuelled buses in the Union territory and tri-city areas. He repeated his commitment to address the long term local transport needs of Chandigarh by providing for Metro, flyovers and underpasses for smooth flow of traffic and more parking facilities for the large and growing number of vehicles in the city.
He said Congress party and its leadership has been a failure on every front during its five years rule at the centre. Referring to the problems faced by Chandigarh Mr Jain said all promises of Congress party candidate during the last Lok Sabha elections remain unfulfilled. Whether it is the Balanced Rent act, or ownership of type 13 houses to occupants, or proper compensation for land to the farmers, or identity cards to footpath workers, or regularisation of houses outside laldora, or regularisation of need based internal changes in the housing board houses, or provision of affordable houses to middle and lower classes in the city or solving problems of rehabilitation colonies ? the Congress MP has not been able to solve any problem.
