Chandigarh, April 27

The state BJP today supported to the state government on the SYL issue.

This was stated by the party in a press release after a meeting between Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh and a BJP delegation comprising Union Minister and state unit chief Vijay Sampla, state vice-president Harjit Grewal and state secretary Vineet Joshi.

The Chief Minister said it was important for political parties of all hues to come together in order to bring the state’s growth and development back on track.

The party leaders raised several issues, including the setting up of a cancer hospital in Hoshiarpur, for which land had already been allocated and the Centre had released the funds. The CM directed the Health Department to expedite work on the project.

Meeting postponed

The meeting of the Punjab BJP’s executive, scheduled for April 30, has been postponed in the wake of Vinod Khanna’s death. The meeting has been rescheduled for May 14 at Ludhiana.
