Preneet Kaur with Avtar Tari
Patiala, January 25, 2017: Patiala based Shiromani Akali Dal leader Avtar Tari on Wednesday joined the Congress in the presence of Patiala MLA Preneet Kaur.
Welcoming Tari in Congress, Preneet said that because of the anti-people policies of the Akali government, leaders from SAD were joining the Congress in large number. "The graph of the Congress is going up with every passing day, indicating that the party would register a landslide victory in the Punjab polls", she asserted.
Preneet said that there was no place for honest and hard working people in the Akali Dal. She added that people of the state were geared up to teach the Akali Dal a lesson in the coming election. "Akalis will have to pay the price for the sins committed by them in the past one decade", said Preneet, adding that the Congress would come to power in Punjab with a two-third majority.
PPCC general secretary K.K.Sharma and chairman of Congress Urban Development Cell, Patiala, Vijay Kumar, played an important role in Tari's joining. Prominent among others present during the joining were councillor from ward number 47 Rajni Sharma, Chairman of Punjab Youth and Sports Development Cell Jaspal Raj Jindal and senior Congress leader Gautam.
