Congress makes spectacle of broken, flooded road in MLA Bibi Jagir Kaur's hometown

JALANDHAR: When ruling SAD-BJP combine is making development its main plank in the general election, Punjab Congress spokesman Sukhpal Khaira took to the streets to "expose" the reality. Led by him, Congress workers stood in the midst of a broken and flooded main road of Begowal town and made a spectacle of the bad condition after rain on Friday night.
As streets were still waterlogged, Khaira, after holding a meeting of Congress workers took all of them there.Begowal happens to be the hometown of ruling party sitting MLA Bibi Jagir Kaur, who represents Bholath constituency.
"This picture was just a tip of iceberg of the collapsed system of governance of Punjab," Khaira said. He said that all main streets and roads of Begowal were lying in terrible condition for the last four years, on the pretext of laying sewerage in the village. Khaira said the plight of the remaining 150 villages of Bholath constituency was even worse than the picture of Begowal sent to the media.
Khaira further said that the so called development plank of the Badals was nothing but a farce and a mirage created to hoodwink and mislead the voters. He said that development only existed in the advertisement on being released by SAD-BJP.
He said that the SAD-BJP government had utterly failed to address the basic issues of the people such as education, healthcare, unemployment, broken down road network, lack of agricultural electricity, poor infrastructure in villages and cities etc.
The Punjab Congress spokesman said that there was only one contribution that the Badal-Majithia clans could boast of — that was ruining the youth with drugs. He alleged that Badals had hijacked all the trades of illegal sand mining, transport, bulk liquor, cable network, etc.
