High-voltage Punjab poll campaign ends
​Amritsar: On the last leg of campaigning for Punjab Assembly polls, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi shared a meal with villagers here and interacted with them. He shared the traditional meal with commoners and party leaders at the 'Sanjha Chulha' (common kitchen) put up by the villagers.
Gandhi was served lentils and vegetables from steel buckets along with rotis (bread).A number of village elders, women, youth, including girls, sat down to share the meal with Gandhi.
The villagers highlighted the problems, including drugs, unemployment and debt being faced by them with Rahul who urged them to vote for the Congress to form the next government in Punjab as the party will care for their needs.
Some of the villagers said Rahul heard their problems and assured to resolve them. A high-voltage and somewhat no-holds-barred campaign for the February 4 Punjab assembly elections ended on Thursday evening as leaders and workers of major political parties made last-ditch efforts to woo voters in the state.
Attacking Arvind Kejriwal, Rahul alleged that the AAP leader was "trying to back the perpetrators of the bomb blast in Punjab".
"There was bomb blast a couple of days back in which six people died. And Arvind Kejriwal is backing the perpetrators of the blast. He is allowing them to contest elections.
This is very dangerous for Punjab. If these elements gain strength in Punjab, then it will hijack all the development issues," said Gandhi.
"Rahul didn't utter (Punjab Deputy Chief Minister) Sukhbir Badal or (Punjab Revenue Minister Bikram) Majithia's names in his speeches. He (is) only cursing me. Am I distributing chitta (a cheap chemical variant of heroin)? (Is) Rahul so scared of me," Kejriwal tweeted.
