Punjab Congress slams AAP, demands immediate resumption of Guru Teg Bahadur Law University project during protest rally in Patti
Forget medical colleges when even ongoing projects halted by AAP: Raja Warring
With last two years left, AAP MLAS focused on earning more money attacks PCC chief
Chandigarh, February 27, 2025:
Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, the President of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee and the Member of Parliament from Ludhiana, joined a massive protest rally today at Patti, along with Leader of the Opposition S. Partap Singh Bajwa Ji, former Chief Minister S. Charanjit Singh Channi Ji and other senior Congress leaders. The protest rally was organized by S. Harminder Singh Gill to demand the immediate resumption of the halted construction of the Guru Tegh Bahadur State Law University, a project of immense significance to the state and was also attended by S. Kulbir Singh Zira, among other Congress leaders.
Addressing the gathering, PPCC Chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring criticized the Aam Aadmi Party government for its lack of accountability and disregard for the aspirations of Punjab’s youth. He remarked, “Punjab has been ruined by this so-called ‘BADLAAV’ government. The Chief Minister has done nothing but joked around for three years now. They talked about building multiple medical colleges, but now even universities under construction are being halted. If our youth will not study, where will they go, and what will they do?”
The protest highlighted the increasing frustrations of farmers, laborers, traders, and the youth, who have been pushed back by nearly 25 years under the AAP regime. Warring pointed out, “These three years have seen ₹95,000 crore worth of debt being taken up by the AAP government. Is this the future we want for Punjab? While Congress has always fought for the rights of our people, including giving MSP to our farmers, this government spends ₹100 crore on advertisement budgets while failing to deliver on basic promises.”
Speaking on the growing drug menace and lawlessness in Punjab, the PPCC Chief emphasized, “The drug menace has increased fourfold under this government. This is the ‘BADLAAV’ they promised? Our people are so disillusioned with the lack of opportunities and governance that they prefer the donkey route to leave Punjab illegally rather than staying here to work. This is the AAP government’s accomplishment.”
The Punjab Congress leadership vowed to continue its fight for the state’s progress and prosperity. Raja Warring concluded with a sharp prediction: “By 2027, the Aam Aadmi Party will cease to exist. Their MLAs are trying to earn as much as they can in these last two years because even they know they won’t be elected again. The people of Punjab regret trusting this government, but we, as Congress, will not let this state be ruined any further. We will stand for the rights of our people and fight for their future with determination.”
The protest witnessed overwhelming support from locals, who echoed the sentiments of the Congress leaders and demanded immediate action from the government. Punjab Congress reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding the state’s future and ensuring that critical projects like Guru Tegh Bahadur State Law University are completed without further delay.
