• “Time to get rid of those dishing out false promises, excuses for five years”
BJP candidate for Chandigarh Lok Sabha constituency Mr Satya Pal Jain appealed to the wise and educated citizens of Chandigarh to vote decisively and get rid of the five year misrule of the Congress party. He said time has come to get rid of those who have been dishing out false promises and excuses for the entire five year term of the present Lok Sabha. Jain said no MP from Chandigarh in the last 45 years has been as helpless and as the present one.
He said the Congress MP, drunk on power and wealth, has not been able to get any of the problems of Chandigarh solved. If you have an MP who is a minister in the centre and still he says that officers do not listen to him; whose government is full of corruption and whose administration is behaving like a property dealer; he has no moral right to seek your vote again. Mr Jain held the Congress MP and union government minister fully responsible for all excesses, corruption and demolitions in the city over the last five years.
Addressing public meetings in sector 40, 18 and 26 Mr Jain said he is committed to all-round development of Chandigarh . He performed padyatra in sector 30 for two hours this morning and went round seeking votes from door to door. In sector 30 he was accorded warm welcome by the people who garlanded him, distributed sweets and assured full support to him. A large number of women applied tilak to Mr Jain. In the evening Mr Jain performed padyatra in sector 34 market and furniture market where he was weighed against coins.
In a public meeting held in sector 40 Mr Jain said BJP does not believe in empty or false promises. Whatever we promise, we shall deliver and in the next election we shall ask for your votes on the basis of our performance. Congress has played fraud on the people and the people of Chandigarh will punish it this time. Mr Jain said that to ensure that youth of Chandigarh get more jobs BJP, on coming to power in the centre, will formulate a new employment policy for Chandigarh . Job oriented industry will be encouraged in Chandigarh and new projects will be brought to Chandigarh . To ensure that every citizen can contribute to the development of Chandigarh , peoples participation in the process of development.

Chandigarh: “The Congress-led UPA Government has failed on all fronts. Inflation was at an all-time high, unemployment increased and the country was a witness to many Terror attacks.”

This was stated by Satya Pal Jain, the candidate fielded by the NDA for the Lok Sabha elections from the city, while addressing a media conference today.

“By showing reluctance to hold the Indian Premier League (IPL), the government has admitted that it is not capable of providing security to the people. The prices of petrol, diesel and LPG were at an all-time high during the regime of the present government. While the UPA had promised the creation of one crore jobs, an equal number of people have become jobless,” Jain said.

Further stressing upon the need for an inter-state development council for the region, Jain said: “When we come to power, the city will be made slum-free. A service selection board to provide employment to the city youth would be set up.”

Chandigarh Chandigarh may traditionally be known as a "city of the retired" but this perception seems all set to change.
The electoral rolls of the city prove that there are around one lakh first-time voters this year. Considering that the total number of voters in the city is 4.83 lakh, this populace forms a substantial part.
Further, around 60 percent of the voters fall in the age group of 18 to 40 years while men outnumber women. Also, voters in colonies and villages are more than the urban voter.
... BJP candidate Satya Pal Jain said: "Our's is the only party where the youth have a chance to prosper. In the Congress, only the children of leaders are encouraged to join the ranks. The Yuva Morcha is involving the youth at every polling booth. We have also raised the demand of a Public Service Commission as well as Services Selection Board for the city." ...

We will start Metro Rail services in the region: Jain

The Indian Express

Chandigarh The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organised a meeting of its workers at the party office here on Sunday to outline the issues to be taken up during the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

BJP candidate from the city, Satya Pal Jain, while addressing party workers said the leaders of the Congress and their ministers hold "conflicting" views on all issues. Jain pointed out that while Congress leaders are crying foul over the functioning of UT Administrator General S F Rodrigues (Retd), their central leadership is not taking any decisive action.

"When voted to power, the BJP will start an Inter-State Development Council to focus on the development of the region along with the city. The rail budget presented this year had nothing to offer for the city. We will start Metro Rail services in the region," said Jain while promising to start a daily Shatabdi to-and-from Amritsar, if voted to power.

"The city is reeling under traffic chaos. We will get flyovers constructed. Multi-storey parking lots as well as underground parking will be constructed," he added.

Jain also advocated the institution of a Public Service Commission and Service Selection Board in the city to ensure employment for the youth.
