Ludhiana/Patiala:The Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed a public meeting in Patiala on Sunday to campaign for the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) candidates for the upcoming Punjab Assembly elections scheduled on February 20.
While addressing the public meeting in Patiala, he highlighted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always worked for the development of Sikhs. He gave permission of the Foreign contribution regulation Act (FCRA) in Golden Temple and removed tax from langar. He further mentions that PM Modi brought Guru Granth Sahib from Afghanistan to Amritsar after thousands of years.
He further urged the people in Punjab to give a chance to PM Modi and BJP government. He claimed that they will eradicate drugs from Punjab as their goal is to make Punjab drug-free. "I want you to choose a govt that will work together with the Centre for the development of Punjab," adds Union Minister.
Earlier on Sunday, Shah addressed a public meeting in Ludhiana where he claimed that if the BJP government is formed in Punjab then they will make the state drug-free in the next five years, establish Narcotics Control Bureau branch offices in four cities of the state for drug prevention and form a task force in every district of the state.
Targetting Charanjit Singh Channi, Punjab Congress Chief Ministerial face, Union Minister said, "Channi Sahib is dreaming of forming a Congress government in Punjab again. A chief minister who cannot provide a secure route to the prime minister of India, can he provide security to Punjab?"
