Ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections, the Punjab Congress has launched its ‘Punjab Mangda Insaaf’ (Punjab Demands Justice) campaign to establish direct contact with people across the state and highlight their grievances.
Under the campaign, Congress leaders will travel to different parts of Punjab in a specially designed bus, interacting with residents, listening to their problems and raising their voices wherever they believe injustice has been done.
Punjab Congress chief Pargat Singh and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Partap Singh Bajwa flagged off the campaign bus in the presence of several senior party leaders and workers.
Addressing the gathering, Bajwa alleged that the BJP was attempting to create a hung Assembly in Punjab ahead of the elections, as neither the BJP nor other opposition parties appeared to be in a position to secure a majority. He claimed that the BJP wanted a hung House to gain indirect control over Punjab.
As part of the campaign, Congress leaders will also hold meetings with industrialists, workers and party members in the industrial sector and Mohali.
The meetings will focus on understanding the concerns of business owners, employees and ordinary people. Party leaders said the campaign aims to take Congress directly to the people, understand their challenges and bring issues of injustice to the forefront.
The Congress leadership maintained that the party would stand firmly with those who have faced injustice and ensure that their concerns are raised at the appropriate platforms.
