Ludhiana: Tuesday’s “Shukrana yatra” by new state president of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Aman Arora and working president Sherry Kalsi aggravated the traffic situation in the city. Local leaders and MLAs had organised at least five welcome programmes in Daba Chowk, Vishwakarma Chowk, Jagraon Bridge, Jalandhar Bypass and Ladhowal.
At all the four spots, police blocked the roads for the functions, causing traffic chaos and long queues of tense commuters.
A frustrated commuter who was stuck near Jagraon bridge said, “What kind of “Shukrana yatra” is this where leaders are causing inconvenience to the public?”
Another commuter, the MD of a school stuck near Vishwakarma Chowk, said, “I had to attend a function at my school, where we have a sports meet but I have been stuck at Gill Road for the past 20 minutes. Moreover, there was no prior information about the road being blocked. The welcome programme must have been organised at a designated place, rather than blocking all chowks.”
While interacting with the media, Arora said, “We are going to win MC elections and in 2027, AAP will again form government, securing over 100 seats out of 117.”
When questioned about the statement of Union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu about the detention of farmer leader Jagjeet Singh Dallewal, he said that Bittu had always spoken against farmers and should not start talking about them now.
