Ludhiana, March 31
Ever since being declared the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate for the Ludhiana (West) assembly constituency, MP Sanjeev Arora has been actively attending various programs and meetings, connecting with people across different social sections.
Arora’s Development Push Resonates with the People
Addressing these meetings, Arora often narrates a long list of projects initiated or pursued by him over the past three years. As he concludes his speech, it is common for organisers or audience members to stand up and remind him of additional development works he has undertaken. Recently, a similar moment occurred during a late-evening meeting when a lawyer stood up after Arora’s speech and remarked, “You have forgotten to mention the work done for Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana.” In response, Arora simply smiled instead of offering a lengthy reply. As such, active participation from the audience further energises Arora, creating a highly positive atmosphere. This also reflects how deeply people are connected to him and his development-oriented approach.
Nukkad-Style Meetings With a Diverse Audience
Arora has been holding intimate meetings at people’s residences, drawing attendees from both the elite and common strata of society. These gatherings, akin to ‘nukkad meetings,’ have sparked significant interest as residents share their perspectives on development.
A Track Record of Transformative Development
Addressing these meetings, Arora highlights the key projects he has spearheaded over the last three years, including:
• Completion of Halwara Airport – A 25-year-delayed project nearing completion to be delivered within three years.
• 17-km Four-Lane Elevated Highway on Ferozepur Road – Enhancing connectivity with faster construction timelines.
• Civil Hospital Renovation – Upgraded with advanced technology in just 18 months.
• One Time Settlement Scheme (OTS) – Resolving a 32-year industrial demand.
• 23-km Cycle Track at Ladowal Bypass – Expected completion by mid-October.
• ESI Hospital Upgradation – Modernised after 30 years.
• Reconstruction of Roads in Focal Point – Revamped after a 15-year wait.
Public Recognition and Unwavering Support
Arora’s interactive approach has garnered strong public backing. In many meetings, attendees themselves recall additional initiatives he has undertaken, reinforcing his image as a leader committed to Ludhiana’s progress.
A Leader with a Vision
Many citizens acknowledge that Arora had been working selflessly for Ludhiana long before joining active politics. He admits that contesting elections was never his original plan but, with the direction of AAP’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, he now seeks public support with confidence.
With a proven record of development, Arora’s campaign is rapidly gaining traction, positioning him as a trusted leader prepared to take Ludhiana forward.
