Patiala, February 8

After Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee chief Capt Amarinder Singh took a dig at Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) candidate from Patiala (Urban) General JJ Singh for grilling the voters of Jai Jawan Colony, now Aam Aadmi Party candidate Dr Balbir Singh too has slammed the General for his behaviour.After holding a meeting with the voters of Jai Jawan Colony for supporting him, Dr Balbir Singh said voting was one’s personal right and no candidate should be offended if a person does not vote for him.“I am surprised that the General took the matter personally. As a responsible leader, our duty is to take care of each and every resident of our constituency irrespective of whether they have voted for us or not,” he said.Dr Balbir said he would always be grateful for the love and support he was given by Patiala residents and promised to stand by them in every thick and thin.“The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is committed towards transforming Punjab completely and restoring its lost glory. If voted to power, the party will immediately initiate development works in the constituency to make Patiala a smart city,” said Dr Balbir.
