Ludhiana people are going to pour too much love: Punjab Congress Chief

Ludhiana (Punjab) [India], May 2 (ANI): The Punjab Congress President and Ludhiana Lok Sabha candidate, Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, expressed his confidence in winning the Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat, stating that the warm welcome he has received from the people of Ludhiana indicates that they are going to shower him with immense love and support in the upcoming Lok Sabha election.
"The kind of welcome I have received seems that Ludhiana people are going to pour too much love...There are various issues in Ludhiana, and I think that one of the biggest is industry and for that, we need a blueprint plan. Pollution is also another issue. We have to make Ludhiana 'Manchester'...The objective is also to uplift the labourers through which Ludhiana's development was possible," he said.
Warring described his electoral fight against the BJP candidate for the Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat as a struggle between loyalty and betrayal.
"In a way, a person heads towards a battlefield for fighting, and elections, similarly, I am also going to take the blessings of Ludhiana's people. It's not Congress vs Congress. It's betrayal vs loyalty," Warring said.
It is worth noting that Warring will be competing against the incumbent Member of Parliament and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate, Ravneet Singh Bittu for the Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat.
Ravneet Singh Bittu had won the Ludhiana seat on a Congress ticket in the 2019 elections but has recently switched to BJP.
The Aam Aadmi Party has nominated Ashok Parashar Pappi as their candidate, while the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has fielded Ranjit Singh Dhillon for this Lok Sabha seat.
In Punjab, voting for its 13 seats will take place in a single phase, with the seventh and final phase on June 1 seeing voting in Ludhiana, Gurudaspur, Amritsar, Khadoor Sahib, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Nandpur Sahib, Fatehgarh Sahib, Faridkot, Firozpur, Bathinda, Sangrur, and Patiala constituencies.
