Ludhiana (Punjab), June 8, 2025: Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today asserted that the Congress will win the Ludhiana West by-election with a record margin. “Congress practically has no competition here”, he remarked.
In an informal interaction with reporters here today, Warring, who is the local MP from here, also asserted that the ruling Aam Aadmi Party was badly mistaken that the Congress would allow it to abuse power and misuse the official machinery for the elections.
First of all we will not let any misuse of the official machinery and second, in case any official is found to be misusing his position to help the AAP, his proper record will be maintained.
“As I have already said and I am repeating it today, we won’t forget, we won’t forgive and we won’t spare”, he warned, while asserting, “the Congress has its strong roots and foundations in Punjab for 140 years and you think we will allow a party which is just born to intimidate us?”
The PCC president sought to dispel the myth that the by-elections are normally won by the ruling party. “We won in Barnala, supposedly the stronghold of the AAP and we will certainly win Ludhiana West, which has always been our stronghold”, he remarked.
He observed that in addition to a strong Congress base in Ludhiana West there is a lot of anti-incumbency against the government over its failure on all fronts, particularly the law and order.He said nobody was feeling safe in Punjab as loot and robbery had become the norm of the day.
“It is a double whammy for Punjabis as on the one hand it is criminals, on the other hand it is the AAP government which is looting and robbing the people”, he remarked.
