Mohali, February 17

BJP candidate from Mohali constituency Sanjeev Vashisht today urged Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs and party co-incharge for Punjab elections Hardeep Singh Puri to resume more international flights from the Mohali airport. At present, only one international flight was being operated from there.

Vashisht informed Puri, who was in the constituency along with Haryana Assembly Speaker Gian Chand Gupta and other leaders to campaign for him, that there was a huge demand for flights to North America and Europe.

Puri, while speaking on the occasion, promised to launch flights to international destinations, including North America and Europe, from the Mohali airport soon. He said earlier, the first international flight from Mohali to Dubai was launched on Vashisht’s initiative only. He said the demand for more flights would be addressed on a priority after the elections.

The minister said the BJP was working for the people, adding that if it came to power in Punjab with a double-engine government, then all problems of the people of the state would be solved on a priority basis.

He asserted that Punjab needed development and they had prepared a roadmap for this. He said Punjab had a debt of Rs  2.81 lakh crore and if a wrong government was formed again, no one would invest in the state. It was high time Punjab was made debt-free, and revealed that the Union Government had already prepared a package of Rs 1 lakh crore for the state.
