Addressing a press conference in Ludhiana on Tuesday, Shukla said the Congress will not allow terrorism in the state at any cost and also knows how to secure the borders. Taking a dig at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) CM face Bhagwant Mann, Shukla said he is not fit for the job to run the border state.

He also praised chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi’s for his works in his 111-day tenure. He appealed to the public to vote for the Congress and Channi will work for overall development of the state and ensure security of the state and its people.

Shukla accused PM Narendra Modi and AAP Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal of publicising more than the actual work done at the ground.

Jalandhar: Meanwhile, Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot said that only Congress can provide secular, stable and common man’s government in Punjab. Pilot was addressing a rally in Balachaur constituency of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar in favour of Congress candidate and sitting MLA Darshan Lal Mangupur.
