Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini visited Jalandhar on Friday amid preparations for the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, where he addressed a public gathering and spoke about the BJP's electoral preparations in the state.
During his address, Saini said the BJP would soon release its list of candidates for the Punjab Assembly elections.
Targeting the Congress, Saini referred to the party's promises made ahead of the 2017 Punjab Assembly elections. He said the Congress had taken an oath on Gutka Sahib and promised to make Punjab drug-free and provide employment to every household.
However, he alleged that the Congress government failed to fulfil both promises during its tenure.
Saini claimed that unemployment and drug-related problems increased under Congress rule, which led to public dissatisfaction and the party's defeat in the subsequent elections.
His remarks came amid renewed political activity in Punjab ahead of the 2027 Assembly polls, with political parties stepping up their preparations and public outreach programs.
