BJP Will Improve Ease Of Doing Business In Punjab, Says Rajnath Singh

Mumbai: Senior BJP leader and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said the Bharatiya Janata Party wants to improve the “ease of doing business” in Punjab and is also committed to tackling the drug menace in the state.

Addressing a public meeting in Dasuya, Singh said Punjab, where the Congress government is in power, ranks 19th in the country in terms of ‘ease of doing business, while BJP-led Uttar Pradesh is at the second position.

He said, “Congress has taken Punjab for a toss. On the other hand, BJP has taken UP on the path of development. The kind of investment that should have been made to boost business in Punjab has not happened.”

Criticizing the Punjab government for its “corrupt conduct” in the matter of drugs and sacrilege, Singh promised that if the BJP comes to power, it will take strong measures to stop them. Making an indirect reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s security breach incident, Singh called the law and order situation in Punjab “bad”.

“For a state to prosper, it is important that the law and order there is healthy,” he added.

Reiterating the Centre’s commitment, Singh said, “We want to make India the superpower of the world, not to rule over others, but for us. The whole world is one family. We have never occupied the land of any country. We want to make India a superpower for world welfare.”

It is the bigger party in the alliance. Punjab will go to the polls on February 20. The counting of votes will take place on March 10.
