BJP Lok Sabha candidate from Chandigarh Sanjay Tandon on Monday addressed Jansabha and public meetings in sector 21, Manimajra, Sector 19 and Mauli Jagran Part II. Tandon in his address said, “The Congress candidate represented Anandpur Sahib before being nominated on the Congress ticket from Chandigarh. However, he didn’t do anything for Anandpur Sahib and I have learnt that the Congress candidate in Anandpur Sahib is clueless about any development done by his predecessor.” Tandon also addressed a Jansabha at Govind Pura, Manimajra. Tandon said, “As the Congress candidate has nothing much to show as far as development works in Anandpur Sahib go, please don’t expect him to do anything for Chandigarh. He is an outsider and beware of him.”
Tandon said, “The Modi government has provided relief to the people by successfully establishing and running 21 metros across the country and now the 22nd metro will be set up in the ‘City Beautiful’. I assure you that on assuming power the double engine BJP government - BJP in Chandigarh and also at the centre will help in establishing a Metro in Chandigarh.”
