Urging Punjabis not to divide their votes, Badal said their issues could be addressed only if they formed the next government in the State.
“The SAD is going from village to village across the State to unite Punjabis. I urge you to also create awareness of the unique social welfare initiatives started in Punjab by S Parkash Singh Badal. All these initiatives will be replicated in Haryana also”, he added.
Badal said the SAD was committed to making each village a model village by ensuring 100 per cent sewerage and water supply. “We will implement this in Haryana once we form the government in the State”, he added.

“The SAD doggedly pursued the cases of the 1984 accused and it is because of our efforts that Sajjan Kumar has been incarcerated for life.Another prime accused Jagdish Tytler will also meet the same fate”.
