Clash of Ideologies: Electoral Battle Heats Up in Ludhiana
Clash of Ideologies: Electoral Battle Heats Up in Ludhiana Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring on Tuesday dubbed his electoral contest with the BJP nominee from the Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat as a battle between 'vafadaari' (loyalty) and 'gaddari' (betrayal). The Congress has fielded Warring from the Ludhiana parliamentary constituency, which is currently held by three-time MP Ravneet Singh Bittu, who joined the BJP recently after quitting the grand old party. Responding to Bittu's charge that the Congress brought its candidate from Gidderbaha, Warring said such a statement shows that the BJP nominee was ''unnerved''. Warring, who is the MLA from Gidderbaha seat in Muktsar district, said he can fight the elections from anywhere. ''Bittu, who was made MP thrice, betrayed the Congress. By defeating him, the party wants to give a message that such cheaters have no place anywhere,'' said Warring. ''It is a fight between 'vafadaari' and 'gaddari'. It is a fight between a trustworthy person and a deceiver. My heart says the truth and trust will be victorious,'' said Warring, who was flanked by senior party leader Partap Singh Bajwa. Bittu had remained the MP from the Ludhiana seat twice. Earlier, he had remained the MP from the Anandpur Sahib seat. Bajwa said that he would take a house on rent in Ludhiana to campaign for Warring. He said the Punjab Congress as well as the people of Ludhiana will teach Bittu a lesson in the coming polls. ''I am going to camp in Ludhiana to take on this traitor (Bittu). He had challenged me to contest from Ludhiana. Now, I will be in Ludhiana to ensure the victory of Raja Warring,'' he added. Bajwa also denied the possibility of a post-election alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab. The AAP will be nowhere in the scene after the Lok Sabha elections, the Qadian MLA claimed. ''Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant (Mann) did exactly the opposite of what he promised to the people of Punjab. He is neither an honest nor sincere to lead Punjab,'' he alleged. Bajwa said Mann claims that Sangrur is the capital of the AAP. ''The voters of Sangrur do not take time to show the mirror to those who dupe them. Therefore, this time as well they will show the mirror to the AAP and support Sukhpal Singh Khaira, the Congress candidate from the home district of Punjab CM,'' he said. When asked about his wife Amrita Warring's objectionable remarks during poll campaigning, Punjab Congress chief Warring said she has tendered an apology. Warring's wife Amrita Warring came under attack from the rival parties for allegedly equating the Congress poll symbol with the hand shown in the popular painting of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev.

Punjab CM Mann: Formation of Next Central Govt Unlikely Without AAP Support
Punjab CM Mann: Formation of Next Central Govt Unlikely Without AAP Support The next government at the Centre cannot be formed without AAP's support, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said on Sunday. He claimed the INDIA bloc would win 120-125 of the 190 seats that went to the polls in the first two phases of the Lok Sabha elections, and expressed confidence that the opposition alliance will assume power at the Centre after the polls. Mann also announced that on April 30, he will meet AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal in Tihar jail, where he is lodged in an excise policy-linked money laundering case. ''AAP will be a partner in the (next) government. The next government cannot be formed without AAP's support,'' the Punjab CM said. The Kejriwal-led party is a constituent of the opposition INDIA bloc. However, it is contesting the Lok Sabha polls independently in Punjab. Addressing a gathering in Barnala in support of AAP's Sangrur candidate Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, Mann said the constituency is and will always be AAP's ''capital (stronghold)''. He claimed that AAP chief Kejriwal deeply cares about Sangrur and always asks about it. ''Last time I went to meet him in jail, he first asked about Sangrur. I told him the next time I come to meet him, I would tell him the ground reality. Today, seeing the enthusiasm of the people here, it is clear that we are winning Sangrur by a huge margin,'' Mann said. Attacking his rival parties, Mann said the Shiromani Akali Dal, BJP and the Congress are not able to find candidates for Punjab's 13 Lok Sabha seats. ''Their leaders are refusing to contest the elections because they know defeat is certain. Their plight is the result of their misdeeds,'' he said. Listing the achievements of his two-year-old dispensation, Mann said, ''We have made electricity free for 90 per cent of households. We have already closed 14 toll plazas, bringing financial relief to people. The previous government used to extend the period of toll plazas by taking money.'' He also claimed that the state government arranged for 11 hours of uninterrupted electricity every day for the farming community. ''We also supplied canal water to about 60 per cent of Punjab's area to save electricity and groundwater. By October, this figure will increase to 70 per cent,'' he said. Meanwhile, Mann also took out a road show in Ludhiana in favour of party candidate Ashok Parashar Pappi on Sunday evening. Addressing the gathering, he said Ludhiana is the ''heart'' of Punjab and ''winning from here means winning Punjab's heart''. Calling Ludhiana his 'karambhoomi', the CM said he started his career as a comedian from here in 1991. Mann said he has been getting a very good response from all the places he's been visiting for campaign, and asked the people of Ludhiana to press the button of 'broom' (party symbol) on June 1 to ensure victory of his party's nominees.
