Punjab polls: Will end inspector raj, dismiss fake cases against businessmen, says Arvind Kejriwal

Chandigarh: AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday promised to eliminate Inspector Raj from the state and provide an industry-friendly atmosphere to the business community if voted to power. He also promised to dismiss all fake cases registered by the previous governments by misusing the police and separating business from police and politics. To eliminate the fear of traders, we will completely eliminate ‘Inspector Raj, Raid Raj’ to provide a safe environment for businesses. Just as we have won the hearts of the traders of Delhi, we will win yours too, the Delhi chief minister said. Alleging that the politicians from the Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal had been intimidating businessmen in the state and lodging false cases against, the AAP convener said such incidents will be eliminated from Punjab after 10 March the day of vote counting. After the formation of the AAP government, if any of our MLAs or ministers ask for a share from any businessman, we will take immediate action against that leader, he said. Taking a dig at the previous regimes, the Delhi chief minister said, Today, all the people of Punjab are scared because of Akali and Congress’ goonda raj’. The Aam Aadmi Party government will end the ‘parcha raj’.

The AAP government will work closely with the traders and make new schemes to promote business. We will completely delink business from police and politics. We will create a safe environment for industries and businesses and stop the exodus of traders from Punjab, Mann, also the Sangrur MP, said. Kejriwal also promised to develop Amritsar as a world icon city’. For many years, the people of Punjab have been demanding that Amritsar be a world icon city, but the demand has not been fulfilled to date. I want to assure you that the Aam Aadmi Party government will take all possible steps to achieve this, he said.
