Punjabi community was always ignored

Since the formation of the Municipal Council in 2002, the Punjabi community has had the highest participation in every election. But in the 2020 Municipal Corporation elections, not a single councilor could be elected from the Punjabi Sabha. The biggest reason for this is the neglect of the Punjabi community. He told that according to the current voter list in the city, there are 2 lakh 35 thousand voters in Panchkula constituency, out of which more than 50 thousand people belong to the Punjabi community. Who want their representation in the government somewhere. A resolution was also passed in the meeting that if Congress gives Ravindra Rawal a ticket for the assembly elections, then the Punjabi community will put the Panchkula seat in the Congress’s bag.Â
will contest election for congress
Ravindra Rawal clarified in the press conference that whether it is the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections or the last assembly elections, he has always participated for public support for the Congress party by following the orders of the Congress. Talking about the strong contenders from Panchkula seat, Ravindra Rawal said that for the last four years he alone has been successful in gathering public support in Panchkula for the upliftment of the party. Now even if the Congress gives ticket to any other candidate, he will still work day and night for the party in his own way.
Punjabi Bhawan will start in December
Ravindra Rawal said that in the year 2014, former Chief Minister of the state Bhupinder Singh Hooda had allotted land for Punjabi Bhawan to bring the Punjabi community under one roof in Panchkula.
