BJP wants Jalandhar seat

Our Correspondent

Amritsar, December 7

State BJP chief Rajinder Bhandari today said the party would demand the Jalandhar Parliamentary seat from the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in the next Lok Sabha elections. He said the SAD candidate never won from the Jalandhar seat while the BJP had a strong base in that region and was able to win the seat.

He was talking to mediapersons during the BJP Vistar Rally (expansion rally) in which senior SAD workers led by district president of the All-India Kamboj Sabha, Maninder Pal Singh Palasaur, joined the BJP while breaking his way from the SAD here.

He said the party was strengthening its base in rural belts. Meanwhile, about 21 workers of the SAD joined the BJP.

Kamal Sharma, general secretary, Punjab, Anil Joshi, MLA, Shawet Malik, mayor, were among the dignitaries present on the occasion.
