    Your hassle is preventing the election as an unbiased candidate from Bassi Pathana towards the professional candidate of the birthday party. Will you pass and marketing campaign for him?

    As each and every birthday party has the correct to battle the elections, each and every individual has additionally the correct to be within the fray. I’ve asked him to not battle the elections as an unbiased. I’m a disciplined soldier of the birthday party and won’t marketing campaign for him.

    The Congress top command needs the polls to be fought beneath collective management. Then why do you and Navjot Singh Sidhu have variations of opinion on stating a CM candidate?

    It’s the call for of the general public. All different events have declared their leader ministerial candidate. In Punjab, Meeting elections are fought on CM face as other folks vote for the CM face. Now the birthday party is taking the opinion of employees and the general public, and according to their comments a reputation can be introduced. Ultimate time the birthday party had introduced Capt Amarinder Singh as CM candidate.

    They (BJP) in conjunction with different events are focused on me and my circle of relatives. They need to end me off politically as we’re returning to energy once more. The cash used to be recovered from elsewhere. It had not anything to do with me however my footage have been flashed. The AAP put my footage with the seized cash. We’re submitting a defamation case towards Arvind Kejriwal and now we have already despatched a felony realize.

    Opposition events had been accusing that sand mining is being carried out beneath your patronage?

    It’s all false propaganda to malign my symbol. I’ve been preventing towards sand mining for a protracted. The sand, which used to be being offered at ₹22 in step with cubic ft on the quarry now prices most effective ₹5.50. I’ve additionally introduced that if anyone proves that sand isn’t being offered at this worth, they are going to be given ₹25,000 rewards.

    As SAD has already tied up with BSP, don’t you assume votes can be divided?

    The SAD-BSP alliance is a mismatch. The Akali Dal gave the BSP 20 seats and of those, on 13 seats, Akali leaders are preventing the election. The SAD has betrayed BSP, it is going to hurt the SAD.

    For the primary time, there can be a five-corned contest as there are Congress, AAP, SAD-BSP, BJP-Punjab Lok Congress and SAD (Sanyukt), farmers and different events. Don’t you assume this will likely minimize the Congress votes?

    It’ll most effective receive advantages Congress as all our rival votes can be divided.

    How can I be a replica aam aadmi? I come from the grassroots as I used to be born in a deficient circle of relatives and raised in a village. I fought elections in school and was a councillor thrice, two times president of municipal committee and thrice MLA. I’m a Punjabi, Kejriwal is an intruder.

    How do you view the efficiency of AAP? It’s projected that they are going to get most seats?

    The AAP creates hue and cry each and every time and within the ultimate election too they did the similar. This time their seats can be a lot lower than ultimate time. Day-to-day they’re going down.

    Opposition alleges that you’ve made bulletins value hundreds of crores however nearly there is not any cash with the federal government, and they’re simply mere bulletins

    We carried out all bulletins we made. Energy expenses have been waived, energy tariff used to be lowered, petrol and diesel charges have been lowered, and many others.

    Do you assume that the narrative has modified after High Minister Narendra Modi’s consult with to Punjab as he used to be stopped and later he stated ‘Say thank you for your leader minister that I may just go back alive until Bathinda Airport’? Will the votes get polarised in BJP’s favour?

    The votes gets polarised however towards the BJP. That used to be a conspiracy to defame Punjab and so they may just now not achieve that, as we have been transparent and true from our center.

    It’s regularly heard that you simply don’t dangerous mouth any of your fighters. Why so?

    It will depend on one’s nature, I keep certain since my adolescence as there is not any negativity in me.

    What are the achievements of your executive within the 111 days in administrative center as you could have issued greater than 100 orders?

    We’re projecting the paintings carried out by means of our executive in 111 days as round 150 notifications had been made.

We now have carried out paintings.

    What do you assume that you must now not do whilst in administrative center? As you could have indexed achievements of your 111 days what’s your greatest feel sorry about?

    No paintings used to be omitted however the Punjab Governor didn’t transparent the record of regularisation of 36,000 workers operating on an advert hoc foundation and stored it pending. It used to be a political conspiracy between BJP and SAD. A legislation has been made to transparent the problem and it is going to be carried out sooner or later.

    Why are you preventing from two constituencies?

    It’s the determination of the birthday party top command. They’ve given me a price tag from Bhadaur (SC) and advised me to battle from this seat additionally. I can abide by means of the birthday party’s directive. This isn’t a brand new precedent as within the ultimate election Capt Amarinder Singh fought from Patiala (City) and Lambi.
