The party’s candidate for Sangrur would be announced soon, BSP general secretary Narendra Kashyap said at a press conference here.
He stated that neither the SAD-BJP nor the Congress had any concern for the poor and downtrodden people in the state.
“The Akali- BJP gover nment wants that poor Dalits and other deprived sections should remain dependent on schemes such as the atta-dal instead of creating opportunities in the state for them to become self-reliant.”
He refuted charges that the BSP contested the 2012 Punjab assembly polls alone to divide the secular vote bank of the Congress and to benefit the SAD.
