“HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE” : BADAL

 Chandigarh June 12 – Five-time Punjab Chief Minister and Akali stalwart Parkash Singh Badal today described the formation of the SAD-BSP Alliance as “the beginning of a secular, federal democratic revolution in the state and the country for a total socio-economic and political  revamp of our  polity. The process of justice and equallity for the poor, the down trodden and the minorities will also get a boost with this development. ”

 “In Punjab, the wheels of progress, prosperity and social welfare which had been brought to a grinding halt  in 2017 will start moving again with added momentum,”  said the senior statesman.

 Badal further said,  “The new development will have welfare of  all Punjabis, especially of down trodden and exploited segments of society including  the farmers, the farm labour, the dalits, the unemployed youth,  small and medium traders, entrepreneurs etc.”

       After the announcement of the Alliance, the BSP leader and MP  Satish Mishra called on   Badal along with the SAD President Mr Sukhbir Singh Badal “to seek his blessings” at his Sector 4 official residence.  The senior Badal congratulated the BSP supremo Ms Mayavati over the phone and invited her to contest from Punjab. Mr Badal thanked and felicitated both  Ms .Mayavati ji and Mr Sardar Sukhbir Singh Badal for giving “this wonderful  gift “ to the people of Punjab and the country.”

    The Akali stalwart said that peace and communal harmony will continue to be top priority for the alliance.  “ The Alliance is a tribute to the composite vision of Guru Nanak Dev ji, Guru Ravidas ji and Bhagvan Balmiki ji and  great saints and seers. That makes today the happiest day of  my long political career as it marks the triumph of the concept of Sarb Saanjhivalta,  Sanman te Smajik Insaf  ( Fraternity, Equality and Dignity) based on the ideal of Sarbat da Bhala ( Welfare of All).”

  Badal recalled how during the governments  he headed,  special attention was paid to the fulfillment of the dream of social justice with the introduction of path breaking schemes for justice and social welfare.

 “I urge both SAD and BSP leaders to work tirelessly and selflessly to begin a new era in Punjab and eventually in the country in which every citizen has access to basic necessities and comforts of life  and create conditions in which every citizen can live in dignity and honour” said the senior statesman of the country in his statement
