UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF CH. PREM SINGH, CONGRESS WORKERS AND LOCAL RESIDENTS HOLD A BIG DEMONSTRATION AND CHAKKA JAM AT THE KHANPUR CHOW IN THE AMBEDKAR NAGAR ASSEMBLY CONSTITUENCY IN SOUTH DELHI TO PROTEST AGAINST RISING PRICE RISE AND WATER CRISIS

NEW DELHI, July 4 – To protest against the unabated rise in the prices of essential commodities, and the hike in cooking gas price and severe water shortage, the area residents and Congress workers of the Ambedkar Nagar Assembly constituency in South Delhi, under the leadership of former Delhi Assembly speaker and senior Congress leader Ch. Prem Singh, held a massive demonstration and created chakka jam at the Khanpur Devli Chowk. The demonstrators included not only local Congress workers, but also a large number of residents of the Ambedkar Nagar Assembly constituency, including a large number of women and youth.

The demonstrators were addressed by AICC secretary and in-charge of Delhi affairs Sardar Kuljit Singh Nagra. The demonstrators assembled at the Khanpur Chowk in South Delhi in the morning and shouted slogans against Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Aam Aadmi Party’s Arvind Kejriwal. The demonstrators also shouted slogans against the local Aam Aadmi Party MLA. The local residents were angry with the AAP’s area MLA because he was creating just dramas on drinking water shortage. The demonstrators also burned the effigies of Shri Narendra Modi and Shri Arvind Kejriwal. The demonstrators jammed the main road at the Khanpur Chowk for over an hour. Ch. Prem Singh was among those who created the chakka jam. Others who participated in the demonstration and chakka jam were former Councillor Pramod Choudhary, DPCC delegate Yaduraj Choudhary,
Rishi Lodhi, Balbir Choudhary, Ajay Gupta, Sunder Choudhary, Harish Choudhary, Nayantara and Veer Singh Chouhan.

Addressing the demonstrators, Shri Kuljit Singh Nagra and Ch. Prem Singh said the BJP Government at the Centre had totally failed to control price rise, and the people of Delhi were now experiencing very bad days. Both the leaders accused Arvind Kejriwal of being the agent of the BJP and added that to divert the attention of the people from pressing problems like price rise, power and water crises, he was creating a big drama by meeting the President. They said the Congress party will never again support such a betrayor of people’s faith. Shri Nagra said the party has taken a decision that it will never support some like Arvind Kejriwal who had paved the path easy for a party like the BJP, who was dividing the people on communal lines.
