  • Vote for Congress to uphold peace in Punjab, identify ‘forces’ behind BJP, AAP

    Speaking from former chief minister Amarinder Singh’s family bastion of Patiala, AICC leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday exhorted the people of Punjab to vote for the Congress to maintain peace and refrain from handing over the border state to parties that had “forces” behind them.


    “This is a border state, a sensitive state. Congress understands Punjab. It can maintain peace… All these people who are making promises, they will ruin Punjab if you give them a chance. Punjab will be on fire. We do not divide. We take everyone together. Thousands of our workers laid down their lives. We understand violence. We understand if peace is gone from Punjab, then nothing will be left. We will lay down our lives but would not let the state be divested of peace,” he said.

    Addressing a rally in party MLA Hardial Singh Kamboj’s constituency of Rajpura in Patiala district, Gandhi said Punjab was not a “chemistry lab” that could be handed over to the BJP or the AAP for an experiment. “The issue of utmost importance for Punjab is to maintain peace. Congress understands that… Congress is going to win. I am telling the party workers to fight. Only five days are left. Bring a Congress government in the state by getting 70 to 80 seats,” he said.

    Gandhi also asked voters to identify the forces behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former chief minister Amarinder Singh.
