Patiala, April 21, 2024: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) candidate from Patiala Lok Sabha constituency NK Sharma has asked AAP candidate and Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh to not to lure people for allegedly making false promises of closing all toll plazas if AAP wins all 13 seats.
NK Sharma said that he was surprised that Dr. Balbir Singh is claiming that if all the 13 candidates of AAP will win they will close all the toll plazas on National Highways.
“Reality is that toll plazas on National Highways are under the Central Government and NHAI has signed agreements to run these toll plazas. He said that these toll plazas can be closed only then their agreements will expire,” he said.
NK Sharma said that all the toll plazas closed on State Highways as claimed by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann have were closed when their terms expired.
He said that if Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and his minister Dr. Balbir Singh have no authority they should close those toll plazas which still have authority to run.
“Dr. Balbir Singh was claiming that after victory he will get toll plazas closed was only a tactic to lure voters and nothing to do with welfare of people,” he added.
