Jalandhar:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the NDA would form the Government on Monday in Punjab and would free the state from drugs. Speaking in an election rally at Jalandhar PM Modi said you might have everything, including money and property, but if your son becomes a drug-addict, what will you do with money and property? I am indebted to Punjab and I want to make the state nasha mukt.

Modi alleged that Congress instigating the 1984 anti-Sikh riots after the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Our government formed an SIT to probe the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. But the Congress gave high posts to the accused. The Congress is under the control of a family. As long as the family rules the Congress, Punjab will never benefit, he said. Modi Praised former Congress leader and two-time Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said, Captain Amarinder Singh worked in collaboration with the Union Government under the federal system, but Congress sent him home.

The policies of the Congress have destroyed the industries in Punjab, where unemployment is at its peak, and this condition can only change with an NDA government in the state, he added. Modi said that 70 per cent sports goods are manufactured in Jalandhar, but the Congress never talked about ‘Vocal for Local’ to support these manufacturers.

For a new Bharat, we need a ‘Naya Punjab’ (new Punjab), in which there will be no place for corruption or ‘mafia raaj’. I wanted to pay obeisance at the Devi Talab Mandir, but the police administration asked me to go back by helicopter. This is the state of affairs of the Punjab government, he questioned.
