Rajpura March 22:
The tenure of those leaders who got positions in the Congress using money and influence is over now. It is now the time for ardent Congress workers who had been working for the party diligently, said former MP and newly elected member of the All-India Congress Working Committee, Jagmeet Brar.
Party workers welcomed Brar at the Punjab border, Shambhu Barrier and also at the steel town, Mandi Gobindgarh. “According to the instructions of the All- India Congress Committee President Sonia Gandhi, now every hardworking Congress worker will get respect and a position in the party,” he said.
He said the Akalis would be routed in the coming Vidhan Sabha elections to put in power the government of common man. Brar alleged that the Akali-BJP government had encroached everywhere in the state and had even seized essential means of support. Farmers, poor people, labourers are all on an edge with the self-centered policies of the government.
When asked about the missing local Congress leaders on his arrival in Rajpura, he said groupism in the party would be dissolved soon and workers would be merged together to contest the coming elections. The Congress leader pointed out that affected people especially the poor in Punjab hold the key to the party’s success. Brar refused to acknowledge his differences with any leader of Punjab, including former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, and said that they would achieve success unitedly.
