BJP fully prepared for Punjab polls: Vijay Sampla

BJP fields its candidates on 23 Assembly seats out of the total 117 as per the poll pact with its ally SAD. The state BJP chief claimed that the Akali-BJP combine would “perform a hat trick” in the state by winning the upcoming polls. Development will be the main poll plank, he said. Sampla said one of the biggest achievements of the Akali-BJP combine government was the maintenance of communal harmony in the state despite several serious attempts of provocations and disruptions. Earlier, Sampla, whose ‘Vijay Sankalp Yatra’ reached Ludhiana, paid floral tributes to the portrait of B R Ambedkar.
