In a closely watched contest in the Canadian federal elections,Conservative candidate Parm Gill has defeated Liberal candidate Ruby Dhalla by 7,000 votes. Gill hails from Puranewala village near Moga. Dhalla,who faced Gill for the Brampton-Springdale seat,saw her campaign dogged by allegations of mistreating her domestic help.
The glamorous Dhalla tried to work her Punjab connection and her proximity to the ruling SAD(B) here even using CM Parkash Singh Badals image on her campaign material to no avail. Gill,it is said,has Canadian PM Stephen Harpers backing.
Gills home town Moga is in celebratory mood over his win. Congress MLA Joginderpal Jain,who is a close friend of Gill,says,He was bound to win. Gill is very committed to his work. He has been supporting the Punjabi community like an MP.
Gyan Singh Khiva a retired government official who,too,is close to Gill said,I spent the entire night on the Internet following these elections.
Gill,who has interests in hospitality and manufacturing businesses,lives in Brampton with his wife,two sons,and a daughter.
