Local Bodies elections process is already under way and the dates would be finalized and announced soon,: CM 

Lashing out at the State BJP President for spreading false propaganda to further his party’s political agenda, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Thursday said Ashwani Sharma’s desperate attempts to falsely project a law & order problem in Punjab reflected the party’s fear of complete annihilation in the upcoming civic polls.

Replying to a question regarding Local Bodies elections in the state, the Chief Minister said that the process is already under way and the dates would be finalized and announced soon, as Constitutionally, the Government was bound to hold these elections before February 15, 2021.

Interacting informally with mediapersons after dedicating the Chandigarh-Kharar elevated corridor to citizens, the Chief Minister said the state BJP’s request to the Governor for postponement of the civic polls on the baseless grounds of law and order situation collapse showed that the party leadership was in complete panic at the prospect of facing the elections at a time when the people were angry at them over the black Farm Laws.
