“The promises made by the Congress during the last elections remain unfulfilled,” said Bharatiya Janata Party candidate for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections Satya Pal Jain while addressing a gathering at the party office on Saturday.
He argued that houses built by the Housing Board are priced beyond the reach of the common man while farmers are being paid a pittance for their land.
Jain assured that if voted to power, the BJP will ensure that farmers are given compensation for their land at the rates paid by the Punjab government.
Jain also led padyatras in Sectors 23 and 40 and addressed public meetings in Manimajra Motor Market, Sector 29 and Burail village. He, later, inaugurated an election office of the BJP in Maloya colony market.
Meanwhile, two district secretaries of Urban (1) unit of Congress — Sukhbir Das and Naveen Sharma — also joined the BJP along with their supporters.
