Sh. Vij was addressing a public meeting organized near Basanti Mai Temple by BJP candidate Vikas Sonkar from Ward No. 25 on Sunday evening in Ambala. He said that neither any national nor state-level party had the courage to field candidates against the BJP in this election, and they had retreated from the contest.

The entire current of development projects will flow uninterrupted. Electricity reaches Ambala Cantonment from Bhakra through wires. If a rope gets tangled in between or the wrong person gets elected, not even a single bulb will light up. Therefore, vote for BJP candidates and make them victorious."
