DW BUREAU / Bathinda

On the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, retired IAS Parampal Kaur Sidhu the BJP candidate from Bathinda Lok Sabha constituency paid obeisance to Lord Hanuman at Shri Balaji Temple here on Tuesday.

She said that this year's Hanuman Jayanti is very special because Lord Ram now resides in his palace and there is happiness in every devotee's heart.

In Ayodhya, the Ram temple has been built and prepared and similarly, the langar of Shri Harmandir Sahib has also been tax-free by the Narendra Modi government, she said.

She further said that the AAP govt talked about making Punjab drug-free, but their biggest leaders went to jail for drug scandals.

On being Akali Dal nominated Harsimrat Kaur Badal as its candidate from Bathinda , Parampal said that whatever development has taken place in Bathinda in the last 15 years, from AIMS to Central University, has been done by PM Narendra Modi.

In such a situation, when the leaders of the Akali Dal could not do anything for Bathinda in the last 15 years, people have no hope from them in the coming times, she maintained.

On the other hand , the PM and the BJP aim to make Bathinda the smartest city, she remarked.
