Punjab election: Sukhbir Badal asks people of Majitha to ensure Bikram’s victory

MAJITHA: SAD(B) president Sukhbir Singh Badal and brother-in-law of former Akali minister Bikram Singh Majithia claimed that Bikram was allegedly implicated in the false case to prevent him from contesting the assembly elections.

While addressing a public gathering at Majitha, near Amritsar, in support of Bikram, Sukhbir claimed: “The aim of registering the case was to prevent Bikram Majithia from contesting the next elections. I appeal to the people of Majitha to defeat this conspiracy. It is not now your responsibility to contest the injustice done to Bikram. I appeal to you to work hard now to elect Bikram with double the margin than before", he said.

Speaking about the assembly elections, Sukhbir claimed that the SAD(B)-BSP alliance was cruising towards a clear victory with more than eighty seats.

He also claimed that the people of Punjab had recognized the fact that the SAD(B)-BSP combined alone could safeguard their regional aspirations and would never hand over their mandate to outsiders controlled by forces in Delhi.

"You will witness AAP facing a rout by winning only five seats in its supposed stronghold of Malwa. Congress will be totally obliterated", he added.
