Gandhiji’s advice is timeless.
He would have liked us to celebrate the Republic Day in the same manner.
Punjab Model aims to reinstate NRI’s trust in system & to make them shareholders, investing in Health, Education & Entrepreneurship: Navjot Singh Sidhu – President, Punjab Congress

Navjot Singh Sidhu – President, Punjab Congress:

As president of Akali Dal, I declare that I’ll quit politics if this govt can produce any proof against BS Majithia on the false & highly politicised case against him: Sukhbir Singh Badal
As president of Akali Dal, I declare that I’ll quit politics if this govt can produce any proof against BS Majithia on this false & highly politicised case against him.
Conversely, everyone responsible for implicating an innocent in a false case will have to face consequences.
We will fight for every Akali Dal BSP India worker booked in false cases in the ongoing vendetta politics of Charanjit Channi govt.
The next SAD-BSP govt will constitute a judicial commission to investigate all the false cases and recommend action against those behind these.
This is a new beginning for me: RPN Singh
This is a new beginning for me and I look forward to my contribution to nation building under the visionary leadership & guidance of the Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, BJP President Shri JP Nadda ji & Honourable Home Minister Amit Shah ji.
RPN Singh
Today, at a time, we are celebrating the formation of our great Republic, I begin a new chapter in my political journey. Jai Hind: RPN Singh
