Country needs Kejriwal as PM in 2024: Balkar Singh

JAMMU, Feb 19: The ruling Government at the Centre has brought immense miseries to the common people by making hollow promises and doing nothing on ground. The eight years of BJP rule at the Centre has only resulted in destruction of economy, jobs, employment besides highest inflation ever since Independence be it the prices of edible oil, petrol, diesel, cooking gas or other essential items for a human being.

This was stated by DCP Balkar Singh, MLA Aam Aadmi Party, Kartarpur Constituency, Punjab and Prabhari, AAP Jammu Province while addressing party workers during his visit to Jammu.

The senior AAP leader said that J&K will soon see the revolution as AAP is spreading wings in the state and people are being galvanized towards the party after getting dejected by the directionless policies of BJP Government and looking at the prolific functioning of Delhi and Punjab governments under the guidance of Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann.

Balkar Singh announced that the Party will contest each and every election in Jammu and Kashmir with full force. He said there is dire need to work hard to save the country from the hollow policies of the BJP government. He asked party cadre to disseminate pro-people policies of Aam Aadmi Party among masses and expose the double standards of BJP to ensure that the next Prime Minister would be Arvind Kejriwal in the impending 2024 Lok Sabha elections who comes with a guarantee of being people oriented. He also informed that every month a meeting will be called to review the Party’s functioning.

While condemning the eviction drive in Jammu and Kashmir, Balkar Singh said that the ongoing eviction drive was halted just to save 43 kanals of land which belongs to BJP leaders.

While welcoming Mr Balkar Singh, Tony apprised the senior leader that AAP has acquired a significant position in J&K and across the nation in very little time as people associated with the party are resolute to work for the common masses unlike BJP and Congress, which never think beyond the policy of divide and rule.
