Nawanshahr, April 9
Building a political party committed to overhauling the system of governance is not a 100 metres race that can be completed in a short while. It is a marathon event that needs a lot of perseverance, said People’s Party of Punjab (PP) chief Manpreet Singh Badal while addressing party workers here on yesterday. The meeting was organised as part of a series of meetings at district headquarters to strengthen the party organisation at the grassroots level.
Manpreet said it was creditable that a party facing elections in the first year of its formation had succeeded in getting 5 per cent of the total votes polled. Besides, the PPP had made the main political parties - Congress and SAD-BJP- jittery.
"The day people begin to take to the idea of effecting a revolutionary change in the system of governance, both these parties based on status quo will be wiped out,” maintained Manpreet.
He exhorted the party workers not to be demoralised by the poll outcome but to strengthen the party organisation at grassroots level.
The presidents of district units and various wings of the party would be nominated in two weeks.
The party candidates in the recent assembly elections would be entrusted with the responsibility of constituting "constituency councils" in their respective segments by May 15.
Each such council would have at least 300 members. A sum of Re 1 per day party fund would be charged from the members. Abhitej Sandhu, Darshan Lal Mangupur and Kamaljit Nahar were among those who spoke on the occasion.
