Zirakpur, March 6 – Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal today said the stark difference between the development in Bathinda versus the utter neglect of chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh’s home constituency of Patiala was reason enough to reject the Congress party and its candidate Preneet Kaur in the forthcoming parliamentary elections.

In stark contrast no major project came into Patiala parliamentary constituency during the last tenure of Capt Amarinder and nothing has been done for the constituency in the last two years. There is no reason for people to reward incompetence”. Mr Badal said the SAD-BJP government had focused on the Zirakpur-Dera Bassi – Mohali area and the establishment of the Mohali international airport had given a boost to economic activity in the region. He said Mohali was set to become an international IT hub with the number of flights from Mohali set to increase from the present 33 to 85 from April this year. “The SAD is committed to the development of Zirakpur and will take make it at par with Mohali when it forms a government in the State again”, he added.
