Neither our borders nor our women have been safe during the past decade - Grewal

Chandigarh , 7 May 2014-

National BJP Leader Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal said that the UPA Government has failed the country so much that neither our borders nor our women have been safe during the past decade. In a press statement here today, mounting attack on the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre, senior BJP leader Grewal said neither the borders of the country nor the women within it have been safe. He said the outgoing government was so busy with corruption and scams that it did not bother to bring the bodies of our soldiers who were beheaded by Pakistani soldiers, it was only after the BJP put pressure that it agreed to ask Islamabad to hand over the bodies of our troops. Grewal criticise the UPA for jeopardising internal security of the country, the senior BJP leader said it was due to the government's insipid attitude that the morale of terrorists and anti-national forces had bolstered and they were carrying out terror activities at will. He said whether it is the carnage in Assam or blast in a train in Tamil Nadu, terrorists are having a field day with the Centre unwilling to complete probe in an expeditious manner in such incidents. Grewal said the Congress-led Government's entire tenure has been marred in corruption in which a number of ministers had to go to jails, he rued that the development took a back seat during the past ten years and industrial production came to a grinding halt, resulting in an alarming rise in unemployment rate. While charging the UPA government with bringing disrepute to the country and undoing all good works done by former Prime Minister A B Vajpayee, Grewal claimed the country could move in a positive trajectory only if Narendra Modi-led NDA comes to power at the Centre. He said the Congress rout in Delhi, Chhatisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan Assembly polls was only a beginning and the people of our country will punish it heavily in the Lok Sabha elections.

In a press statement here today Grewal said that there is no anti-incumbency against the state government but rather it is against the UPA government. He said that even last time, Assembly elections there was talk of anti-incumbency against the Punjab Government and look, our alliance created history. Grewal said this time too, history will be created in Punjab. Grewal said that it is a Narendra Modi and Parkash Singh Badal combination that is working well in Punjab. He said the anti-incumbency propaganda has been created by the rivals as they did last time and you all have seen the results. Grewal said that the Government was committed to delivering on major fronts once a NDA government was formed at the centre. "Parkash Singh Badal has a unique relationship with Mr Narendra Modi and has already discussed a number of issues with the NDA prime ministerial candidate". He said this included constructing houses for the houseless in both rural and urban areas, offering a remunerative minimum support price, MSP to the farmers and ensuring them full crop insurance besides working for an industrial package for the State. Grewal said that we hope to deliver on all these issues once Shri Narendra Modi is sworn in as the next prime minister of our country. Grewal said the people should evaluate what the party could offer to the State and its people. He said that everyone knows that all the senior leaders including Capt Amarinder Singh, Partap Singh Bajwa and Sunil Jakhar were reluctant candidates and were forced into the contest by the high command. He said even today till the very last minute they are working against each other and have no hope of winning from their seats. Grewal said it was for the people to decide why the Congress had not told the people of Punjab what the UPA government did for the State during the last ten years. He said that six Punjab Congress leaders even served as Union ministers during this period, even they failed to bring any major project to Punjab. He said the Punjab Congress party has even failed to come out with its future vision for the State.

Amritsar lok sabha- Capt Amrinder Singh lives in a "world of sycophants" - Grewal

AMRITSAR: 28 April 2014 -
National BJP leader and Kisan Morcha National Secretary today taking a swipe at Amarinder Singh's royal background. After BJYM meeting, in a press statement here today Grewal said that the politics of the Congress leader reflects his "feudal mindset" as he has been caught "lying with a straight face" on the property tax and Jagdish Tytler issue. Grewal also charged that Capt Amrinder Singh lives in a "world of sycophants". He said that " the politics of Congress party's candidate from Amritsar Lok Sabha Amarinder Singh only reflects his feudal instincts. He still lives in a world of sycophants where he is referred to as 'Maharaja Sahib'. He is discourteous and rude. He believes that discourtesy has given him the image of being 'Dabbang'".Grewal charged that "Amarinder Singh is not the best practitioner of ethical values. What is amazing is his ability to be extremely economical with the truth". Raking up the property tax issue, he said, Amarinder was caught being "untruthful" on the matter. Grewal said that " the tax was levied on the basis of his undertaking dated 7th December, 2006 to the Centre. I produced before the media the file carrying his signatures of approval. He ignored the truth and could bluntly lie that he did not approve it. Grewal charged that " the whole country saw him stand up and defend Jagdish Tytler in the 1984 riots case in an interview to a news channel. He today denies that he ever gave Tytler a clean chit. He, in a monarchical style, shouts down criticism and refuses to take questions." He said "having been caught lying with the straight face on the property tax and the Jagdish Tytler issue, any other candidate would have been put to shame before the people. But this emperor, even when caught without clothes, has the ability to look at you in the eye. This feudalism must be defeated." Talking about the BJP campaign, Grewal said, "There is clarity in the campaign.The acceptability of the leader is extremely high. The groundswell seems to be building up not only in our traditional support areas but also in those regions where our strength is relatively marginal." Grewal claimed "as against this, the Congress campaign is more abstract and confused.The leadership is non-inspirational, anti incumbency is hurting them significantly." He also noted barring the BJP and its allies, some regional parties appear to be doing well within the confines of their region. Grewal said that "most of these regional parties are conventionally anti- Congress. The third front or the federal front has a sporadic presence through certain regional groups but there is no structured alliance." He also said that "most opinion polls are predicting a comfortable BJP and NDA victory. No other alliance, expect the NDA has any rational possibility of forming the government. Narendra Modi has become symbol of hope in our country"
