“Ferozepur was going to witness the highest-ever turnout at any political rally in Punjab. But political workers, in collusion with police, stopped not only the public, but also the PM from attending the rally,” Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said.
Union minister and Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Punjab in-charge Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Tuesday said political workers and the state police “colluded” to halt Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent rally in Ferozepur that he claimed would have seen the largest public turnout among any rallies in the poll-bound state.
“Ferozepur was going to witness the highest-ever turnout at any political rally in Punjab. But political workers, in collusion with police, stopped not only the public, but also the PM from attending the rally. It has only strengthened the resolve of BJP workers,” news agency ANI quoted Shekhawat as saying.
The minister was addressing the media at the BJP’s headquarters in New Delhi after a programme in which leaders from Punjab joined the party. “Eminent personalities from Punjab #JoinBJP at party headquarters in New Delhi,” the party’s Punjab unit wrote on Twitter.
Former Punjab Congress MLA Arvind Khanna, Gurdeep Singh Gosha of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and former Amritsar councillor Dharamveer Sarin joined the BJP during the event in which Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri was also present.
