If BSF fails to stop drugs, weapons, drones within 15 km, what will it do in 50 km?
Harsimrat said, “Congress and BJP have always been one, we knew it long ago that Captain Amarinder had a hand with BJP, but we never knew that he would betray the farmers of his own state.”
He said, “Congress has a collective responsibility that it won by making false promises, not just by the captain. This is the reason why now when people ask what you did in five years, their MLAs scuffle and thrash voters,” Harsimrat said, referring to the Pathankot incident, where Bhoa MLA Joginder Pal spent five years. A youth was allegedly thrashed for questioning him about his performance.
“Channi knows the model code of conduct will come into force soon, so there is no harm in making big promises as talks cost nothing. But people have become aware now, they will not again fall under the false promises of Congress. Channi is getting his hoardings worth crores installed. First Captain and now Channi are posing with farmers but no one has got any compensation…’
