The public is angry with the mis-governance and 'goondaraj' of the Akali Dal. "It's for the first time in Punjab that the public is not allowing the SAD-BJP leaders to enter Punjab. Black flags are being shown to Akali leaders. Public sending them back from villages, as all know that the Akali Dal is behind the drug addiction In Punjab", said Jagmeet adding that "the anger of public has turned into a tsunami."

Giving a boost to the campaign of the Congress candidate Preneet Kaur, Brar and Surinder Singla, members of the Congress Campaign Committee accused the SAD-BJP of forming an unholy alliance to grab power.

Raising the issue of mis-governance, Brar said that "the sand mafia was ruling the state… there is no presence of government. SAD-BJP has ruined the state in the last seven years," said Brar.

Addressing a series of rallies in Patiala rural constituency organised by MLA Brahm Mohindra, Brar at his vocal best, attacked the Badal family in general by questioning their double standards on issues of Bluestar, river waters, etc.

He said that SAD-BJP always raised the Operation Bluestar or Delhi riots, for which the Congress has regretted in Parliament, but why the SAD is silent on the Gujarat riots where hundreds of Muslims were killed during the reign of Narender Modi, who is BJP's prime ministerial candidate.

Congress candidate Preneet Kaur and MLA Brahm Mohindra also addressed the gatherings.
