Badal appeals to electorate of Ludhiana West to support SAD in by-election

Ludhiana, Apr 26 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal today appealed to the electorate of Ludhiana West to support the SAD in the forthcoming by-election to "pave the way for the end of gangster culture, drug menace and terrorism".
Addressing the media at the residence of SAD candidate Parupkar Singh Ghumman, he said: “The people of the State have experimented with both the Congress and AAP. Punjab has witnessed a steep decline in all parameters and now the situation has become such that even the common man is not safe. The State needs a decisive government like the SAD which will eradicate gangsters and drug traffickers besides bringing back peace and ensuring communal harmony.”
Badal also attacked the AAP Delhi leadership for taking over the Punjab government. “Right now Kejriwal and his team including Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain have taken over all ministries between themselves. Right from the Chief Minister’s Office to the State Secretariat, all files are routed through them. They are not only seeing the files but also taking decisions on them which is illegal and is a violation of the Officials Secret Act. Due action should be taken against them.”
