Chandigarh, Sept 07: The Punjab unit of BJP today
alleged ruling Congress in the state had misused government
machinery to ensure unopposed election of seven of its
candidates for municipal elections in Raiya in Amritsar
district.
"Rejection of the nominations of seven candidates of
Akali-BJP combine and making the rest of the independent
candidates in those seven wards to withdraw their nomination
papers per force justifies our claim that chief minister
Amarinder Singh is bent upon ensuring win of his candidates
using every method," state BJP president Brij Lal Rinwa told
reporters here.
Akali-BJP combine anticipates "booth capturing in rest of
the wards", Rinwa said.
The polling is scheduled for tomorrow in the rest six ward out of 13 in Raiya.
"The local MLA Jasbir Singh Dimpa is openly using not only money and muscle power, but also the government machinery to ensure victory of Congress candidates," Rinwa said adding Congress knows fully well that it does not otherwise stand a chance in the traditional Akali stronghold.
