A64 WHEN I MADE CAPTAIN AMARINDER SINGH CHIEF
MINISTER, THE SECOND TIME.
Kejriwal was benefiting from the Anna Hazare
fame. In Delhi, Kejriwal had succeeded in
forming a government with the help of the BJP,
the RSS and the Congress, and gaining a large
majority. Therefore, he was considered not only
a shrewd man of politics, but also a memorial of
politics. Where he lost all over India. Bail of
400 candidates was forfeited while Punjab won
four of its candidates. So Kejriwal, in the hope
of forming his own government in Punjab, poured
billions of rupees into Delhi from the Delhi
government. He set up a monopoly on print and
social media. Kejriwal used to print from Delhi
with stage material, curtains etc. But to win
the sympathy of the Punjab media, the
advertisement pamphlet was printed from the
presses of the leading newspapers of Punjab.
Kejriwal's wind was blowing.
In the above circumstances, at first I too was
saddened by the Congress and the Captain's Jatt
Mahasabha, but was forced to support Kejriwal to
get rid of the Badalshahi. But when things
changed. The Captain was made the President of
the Punjab Congress. Then some of the effects of
Captain Sahib's victory began to be seen. I had
high expectations from Captain Sahib. Because he
got involved in corruption in 2002. But they
were probably sold to the Badalshahis. But I
hoped that this time they would not be deceived.
So it seemed to me that it was in the interest
of Punjab to form a Captain's government as
opposed to Kejriwal's. Badal was not in
competition.
I felt that Kejriwal did not have the interests
of Punjab protected. Kejriwal is a native of
Haryana. It is his heart's desire to become the
Chief Minister of Haryana. He will loot Punjab's
billions of rupees and strengthen his presence
in Haryana. He can give Punjab's water to
Haryana. He can mix Kandukhera's mother tongue
in Hindi, Abohar Fazilka in Haryana. He can
implement Chandigarh-Mohali, Zirakpur and
Haryana by implementing the report of
Haryana-Punjab Commission. So I decided that it
was imperative to defeat Kejriwal. With
Kejriwal's defeat, Captain Sarkar will become
himself.
Viro! I have never been under the influence of
the media. I take stock of the situation in my
own way. I am convinced that if the fight
against Kejriwal is fought with arguments,
Kejriwal can be ousted from Punjab. Viro! Think
about the situation at that time. Punjabis and
Punjabi expatriates were blindly pointing out
the virtues of Kejriwal. Immigrants were buying
Assembly tickets by paying crores, crores of
rupees. Some Punjabis wanted to get tickets even
by selling their dignity. You can no longer
imagine how badly Kejriwal's opponents were
treated on social media. The worst words were
used. Therefore, no one had the courage to
oppose Kejriwal. Two or four NRIs who were
allied with the Congress or the Akali Dal. He
used to talk about their support. But they were
also afraid of Kejriwal's caste opposition.
Viro! Enduring all of the above, I decided to
save Punjab from Kejriwal's onslaught. Don't let
him occupy Punjab. But the question is, how can
this be prevented? Therefore, there was a need
to create a people's movement. But the question
was whether to create a negative movement
against Kejriwal or a positive movement in favor
of the captain. My soul did not allow me to
praise the Congress. Campaigning under the name
of Captain Sahib had no significant effect.
Captain Sahib's internal enemies had to lodge
complaints against him as well. My mind voiced
that only a movement against Kejriwal could
succeed.
Therefore, the decision was taken to put all
scandals, frauds, scams, murders, conspiracies,
Punjabis before Kejriwal since 1995 when he
became the Assistant Commissioner. So that they
can know the reality of Kejriwal. It was clear
that there would be a lot of opposition. But I
made up my mind to tolerate everything in the
interest of Punjab. The Facebook tool was used
in this regard. Apart from Facebook, his website
was first uploaded by "Punjab" and later by the
Anti-Corruption Party's website "PACP". In which
660 page articles were recorded to present the
reality of Kejriwal and Badalshahi to the voters
of Punjab.
I am a member of more than five dozen groups on
Facebook. Which can number up to one million
readers. My website has also been visited by
millions of people. By presenting facts contrary
to the winds of time, these facts have always
been the subject of debate. I created a negative
movement against Kejriwal. Which proved to be a
thousand times more effective than creating a
positive movement in favor of Captain Sahib.
Which led to Kejriwal's defeat and the captain's
victory.
On the other hand, the men of the Prashant
Bhushan team were given cars. But this team of
four or five men could never meet more than
twenty men. Yet they only conducted surveys. He
was a foreigner. Saying something in favor of
Captain Sahib, he did not want to be the victim
of Punjabis' fight or anger. One team spoke to
me. He asked which candidate in your village
would get how many votes. In Punjab's population
of 20 million, have these two and a half Totars
been the cause of Captain Sahib's victory?
Veer ji. Now it is up to you to decide how wrong
or how right I am to make Captain Sahib the
Chief Minister for the second time.
Apologies: Harbans Singh Jalal.
