Congress should get ready for third surgical strike on 18the December: Sanjay Tandon

Congress manifesto is laughable, lacks vision: Sanjay Tandon

Chandigarh, December 16, 2016: Sanjay Tandon, Chandigarh BJP President, today said election manifesto released by the Chandigarh Congress should be ready for third surgical strike in city on 18th when the city goes for polls for a Congress-free Municipal Corporation, the first one being in PoK, and the second one on black money.

Addressing a press conference at BJP office, Kamlam in Sector 33 here, Tandon termed the Congress manifesto laughable and has exposed the Congress on what it could not do in the last 14 years and is a mockery with the people of Chandigarh.

Among other prominent BJP leaders who were present there included Aarti Mehra, senior party leader and former Incharge for Chandigarh, Raghbir Lal Arora, BJP Chandigarh Vice President, Amit Rana, President, Chandigarh unit of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), and Ravinder Pathania, Media Incharge of BJP Chandigarh.

Referring to a point made in the Congress manifesto promising housing for the UT employees, Tandon said, Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) had allotted the space but in 2008 and it was during the Congress regime that the proposal was scrapped and now with the initiatives of BJP it has been again revived.

Tandon said the manifesto promises to make city dust bin free and installing them where Sehaj Safai Kendras were not there, but can Congress explain in 14 years where these dust bins were installed and what was the budget.

On the other hand Modern dustbins were installed in city under Rs 1 crore garbage disposal scheme with Gas Authority of India Ltd. (GAIL).

The Congress should have talked about what they have done in the last 14 years and what they promise to do in the next 5 years.

The manifesto talks about upgrading the government schools, but I would like to ask them who got the schools upgraded?  It was BJP. Who initiated the move to make Chandigarh smart city?

It was BJP. Who made Chandigarh Kerosene free?
It was again BJP and What steps Congress took to bring water to city?, he said adding, it was because of the initiative taken by BJP that city will receive its full share of 2 crore 90 million gallons of water from two pipelines of Kajauli waterworks' phases V and VI?

Aarti Mehra, senior party leader and former Incharge for Chandigarh, while interacting with the media termed Congress manifesto as ‘Cut, Copy, Paste’ of BJP Vision Document, which she said only showed Congress has no vision for the city.

She added first Congress was doing ‘Cut, Copy, Paste’ with BJP releases and had done it with Vision Document now.

She said, he slogan given in the manifesto that the party is committed to the welfare of Chandigarh and will give a responsible and answerable administration. The last 14 years of their tenure is full of scams. Their former MP Pawan Kumar Bansal embarrassed Chandigarh with his involvement in railgate scam and the Congress President, Pardeep Chhabra was himself involved in 500 crore booth allotment scam and they are talking about commitment.

Mehra while commenting on the demonetization move of the Narendra Modi government said it was a welcome step to eradicate black money. She added things in Chandigarh were also getting better and during her campaign in the last few days she had not seen any queues outside banks.

Hans while addressing the audience in Manimajra where he was campaigning for Jagtar Singh Jagga, candidate for ward number 25 said, “I am an ardent admirer of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has worked for the welfare of the poor. He has no insatiability for power, money or even the designation that he has been bestowed upon him by the people of India. He left his home, his family to serve the people of his country and that is why I have deep respect for him who is on the path of nation building with a selfless motive.”

Echoing the same lines Sanjay Tandon, Chandigarh State President BJP, added, “Today all of us know and can see the development that the city has witnessed in the past 10 months under the BJP governance. The city is developing because the BJP is in power in centre, the MP from BJP can take forward our concerns to get them approved from the Prime Minister, our Mayor who is also from BJP can carry forward the development of the city under the stewardship of our PM and MP. It's time to show the voter power and to empower the candidates to carry forward the development that the city is witnessing as councillors from their respective wards." He also appealed the voters to choose between the corrupt Congress leaders and the honest BJP leaders.

Hans also campaigned in ward number 23 to support Bharat Kumar. While addressing a public meeting in Hallomajra he said, “Modi has a vision to make a better India. All he needs from his countrymen is support and patience. He understands the necessities and requirements of a common man. He understands what hunger is, he knows what thirst is, he can relate to how the adverse weather affects a common man and that is why he is on a path to eliminate the difference between the poor and the rich. I would humbly request the residents to vote and support the BJP candidate so that he is able to continue his development drive in the city as well.”

He also campaigned in ward number 11 for BJP candidate Satish Kainth in Palsora village, in ward number 2 for BJP candidate Raj Bala Malik in Sector 15 and Khuda Lahora, ward number 20 for BJP candidate Shakti Parkash Devshali in Sector 29-B, ward number 12 for BJP candidate Chandrawati Shukla in Sector 52 colony.

Congress Party or Copy Paste Party?

Congress befooling city electorate says BJP General Secretary

Chandigarh, December 12, 2016: Congress Party, which has always been short of issues to campaign against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has been caught on the wrong foot for copying the releases issued by the BJP.

The Congress party has been copy pasting the BJP press releases by replacing the names of BJP candidates with Congress ones and following the same format as is being done by the BJP, besides also following the same tonality as in BJP releases.

The press note issued by the Congress on Sunday which was sent to the entire media was that of December 9, in which the BJP campaign release had given details of how trader community had extended support to party candidates. While the release talked about Congress campaign but the Congress failed to remove the headline, sub-headlines and first paragraph of the release, which talked about how BJP had intensified its campaign.

Taking a serious note of the development, Chander Shekhar, Chandigarh State BJP General Secretary said, “Congress has been exposed and it has been proved that the party is not only short of issues but is also cheating the people of Chandigarh by misleading them and taking support of the BJP press releases to reach out to them.”

He added, Congress should now accept, it is a party of scamsters as its leaders have no originality and are now copying the BJP press releases.

Cong should accept its misrule and accept BJP’s Achievements

Chandigarh, December 12, 2016: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Chandigarh State President, Sanjay Tandon today said Congress leaders seem to have accepted their defeat before the elections.

Terming the statement made by Pardeep Chhabra, Chandigarh Congress president terming the BJP vision document as a bundle of lies, Tandon said, Congress President and former Congress MP Pawan Kumar Bansal are desperate as they are foreseeing Congress party’s defeat in the MC polls.

He said Bansal’s reaction to demonetization is justified because he himself is a tainted leader and like other top Congress leaders in Delhi he also much be worried how to dispose off his black money.

Tandon said the Congress Party is a party without vision and is not ready to accept its own misrule in the last 14 years, and the achievements of the BJP tenure of last 10 months.

He said if Pardeep Chhabra has the courage he should debate on the issue at a public platform with BJP and explain about the scams during their tenure.

He added Congress rather than making false claims should admit BJP managed to get several works done in a few months, on which Congress had kept sleeping.

He said Congress reaction to demonetization was a clear indication that Congress leaders were not able to dispose off their black money.
