Villagers of Ludhiana Appeal to Governor, Lose Faith in AAP Government: BJP Spokesperson Baliawal

Ludhiana, September 24, 2025: BJP Punjab Spokesperson Pritpal Singh Baliawal today said that the AAP Government has completely failed the people of Punjab in their hour of crisis, forcing helpless villagers to directly write to the Governor of Punjab seeking intervention.

Baliawal revealed that the Village Panchayats of Sasrali Colony and adjoining villages—including Boothgarh, Gaunsgarh, Gadhapur, Raur, Managat, Hawas, Khwajke, Mangli Tanda, Mangli Khas, Garhi Togada, Garhi Fazil, Garhi Shero, Shekhowal, Kasabaad, Jeewanpur, Dheri, Bajra, Sattowal, Seera, Churwal, Macchiana Kala and others—have written a letter to the Governor of Punjab appealing for immediate deployment of the Army and expert teams to repair the collapsed embankments of the Sutlej River near Sasrali, which have unleashed devastation across Ludhiana district.

The letter highlights that despite repeated requests, the breach at Dhusi Bandh has not been repaired and the river continues to swallow fertile lands, crops, tube wells, houses, and decades of hard-earned livelihoods. Villagers have warned that mere dumping of sandbags is futile without proper engineering design and Army-level intervention. Their appeal to the Governor reflects the desperation and total abandonment they feel under the current state government.

Slamming the AAP Government, Baliawal said, “When ordinary villagers are left with no hope from their government and are forced to write to the Governor for survival, it is the ultimate proof of governance collapse. People are helplessly watching their ancestral lands and lifetime savings being washed away while AAP leaders indulge in shameless propaganda.”

He further pointed out that even the Disaster Management Minister from Sahnewal constituency has remained invisible in his own district while villages are drowning. “This is not just incompetence—it is betrayal,” he added.

Baliawal said that the trust of people in AAP has completely broken. From Delhi to Punjab, the AAP model is built only on advertisements and hollow speeches. He said, “When people demand relief, AAP gives excuses. When Punjab needs leadership, AAP gives drama. Governance cannot run on TV headlines and social media reels—it requires accountability and action.”

He demanded that the Punjab Government immediately call in the Army and expert hydrology teams for permanent embankment repair and flood-control measures. He also appealed to the Governor to directly intervene and ensure that the suffering villagers receive protection, relief, and rehabilitation.

Concluding, Baliawal said, “Punjab today feels orphaned under AAP rule. The faith of people has been completely shattered.
