AAP has again made big allegation on Congress candidate power misuse
Punjab Newsline, Jalandhar/Chandigarh, July 8-
AAP has again made a big allegation on Congress party candidate Surinder Kaur in Jalandhar West Assembly by-election after the land scam. The party said that Congress candidate Surinder Kaur, while being senior deputy mayor, recruited her son as Junior Engineer (JE) in the Municipal Corporation.
Exposing this in a press conference on Monday, AAP leader Pawan Kumar Tinu said that Surinder Kaur got her son Karan Suman recruited as JE through outsourcing via Gretis company in the corporation on 9 January 2019. He said that thousands of youth are sitting unemployed in Jalandhar with engineering degrees but the former senior deputy mayor of Congress gave the job to his son instead of them.
He said that his son never went to work after being recruited as JE. He only took the salary. This is clearly defrauding the government treasury and taking advantage of one's position. Tinu also showed the media a letter referenced by the senior deputy mayor related to this appointment of Gretis company and said that Surinder Kaur used the position only to benefit her family.
He sought a reply from Surinder Kaur on this matter and said that this is actually the culture of the Congress party.
