Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Thursday asserted that the Congress was the only party capable of providing a stable, secure and effective government in Punjab. He claimed that no other political party was in a position to form a government independently in the state.
Speaking about candidate selection for the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, Pilot, the Congress’s Punjab in-charge, said the party would distribute tickets strictly on merit. He stressed that preference would be given to deserving candidates who had worked hard for the party and demonstrated loyalty, honesty and commitment.
Criticising the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government over issues such as the deteriorating law and order situation and the growing drug menace, Pilot predicted that the Bhagwant Mann-led government would “collapse” once the Model Code of Conduct comes into force.
He also indicated that the Congress would provide opportunities to a considerable number of young candidates in the 2027 Assembly elections.
