CHANDIGARH: Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar on Thursday sought PM Modi’s intervention to reconsider allotment of 10 acres for a new Haryana assembly building in Chandigarh. The issue has united Punjab’s rivals BJP, Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal with governing AAP against the BJP-run Haryana.
“In an attempt to heal wounds of the past, PM Modi has taken steps for upliftment of Punjabis. Giving 10 acres of land to Haryana for a separate assembly in Chandigarh will hurt the closeness built with Punjab due to these efforts,” Jakhar said. Speaking separately, Jakhar disclosed said he had told the BJP top brass he wanted to step down as state unit chief over the party’s poor performance in this summer’s LS polls when it failed to win any of the 13 seats.
AAP warned Chandigarh was not merely a land but a matter of “emotions” for Punjabis. Congress urged Modi to “hand over Chandigarh to Punjab” before New Year.
