Today, Punjab has been destroyed due to debt, drugs, religious conversions, corruption and terror of gangsters, Shah said.
Addressing a “Badlav” rally in the Killi Chahlan village here, Shah said that Punjab has given many chances to Congress, Akalis and AAP, and should now give BJP a chance.
“We will bring change in Punjab”, he said.
Shah said the Bhagwant Mann government is steeped in corruption and has become an “ATM” for party chief Arvind Kejriwal, he said.
Shah said that the polls are going to take place in 2027, and from Moga, the BJP, in a way, has launched its poll campaign.
“I have come to appeal to people of Punjab,” the Union minister said, seeking support for his party. With the BJP earlier having been part of the government in Punjab as a junior partner to the Akalis, Shah told the gathering, “Whenever we came before you, we came in the role of a younger brother”.
The BJP is now going to fight to form its government, he said.
“I have come to seek blessings from the people of Punjab, including mothers, sisters and the elderly. Give us your blessings. If there is anyone who can rid the state of the drug menace, it is only Narendra Modi and the BJP,” he said.
“We scrapped Article 370 in J&K. Today, Naxalism is on the verge of its end. If Punjab has to be rid of the drug menace, it needs BJP’s double-engine government,” he said.
“Today, Punjab has been destroyed due to debt, drugs, religious conversions, corruption and terror of gangsters,” he said, adding that industry is leaving the state.
Many chances were given to Congress, Akali Dal and AAP to help Punjab get rid of unemployment. Now, give one chance to the BJP to bring change, Shah said.
Elaborate security arrangements were made for Shah’s rally.
Moga falls in the politically significant Malwa belt of Punjab, which accounts for 69 of the 117 assembly seats in the state.
