Jalandhar, April 20 (STN ): BJP leader and in-charge of Garhshankar Assembly Constituency Nimisha Mehta, while expressing deep sorrow for the people who lost their lives in two horrific accidents with Sangat going to Shri Khuralgarh Sahib Nimisha Mehta, said that Shri Khuralgarh Sahib, where Guru Ravidas ji did penance for 4 years, 2 months and 12 days, it is a matter of great regret that till date the governments could not even make a good road to go to this tomb of Ravidassia community. Nimisha Mehta, during a press conference held in Jalandhar today, said that more than 40 percent of the population in the entire Doaba is the followers of Guru Ravidas Ji, but the condition of the road leading to Sri Khuralgarh Sahib, the shrine of Guru Ravidas Ji, is very pathetic, due to which often Terrible accidents keep happening here. Recently, 10 people lost their lives and more than a dozen were injured in two horrific road accidents.
Nimisha Mehta said that the road leading to Shri Khuralgarh Sahib is hilly, the sharp ascent and narrowness of the road cause vehicles to fall into deep ravines, causing huge loss of life and property. That’s why the government should make the four lane road safe till Shri Khuralgarh Sahib keeping in mind the sentiments of the devotees of Ravidasia community. Nimisha Mehta said that even today the Gurdwara Committee buys water in tankers to Shri Khuralgarh Sahib Guru Ghar and till date no government has been able to provide potable water to Guru Ghar. Nimisha Mehta warned the Punjab government that if these demands of the shrine of the Dalit community were not met, people would hit the streets and teach the government a lesson.
Rajesh Baga said on the occasion that although the tubewell was installed during the previous government, but the MLA of the current government also inaugurated it in the process of looting false applause, but even after one year has passed by the current Aam Aadmi Party government. This tube well of Gurughar was not given electricity connection. Because of which till date water has to be bought from the market for making langar and for drinking in Shri Khuralgarh Sahib. Not only this, the government has not yet made any arrangements to bring the pipeline from the tube well to the Guru Ghar, which may cost 10 to 12 lakhs. The foundation stone of Minar-e-Begampura, which was done by the BJP coalition government in 2016 at a cost of Rs 117 crore, has not been completed yet despite the big announcements made by the previous and the present government. Rajesh Baga demanded that the Punjab government should make arrangements for electricity connection at Sri Khuralgarh Sahib and pipe line up to the tube well at the earliest.
Rajesh Baga said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is constantly striving and working to fulfill the dream of India seen by Baba Saheb Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar. Prime Minister Narendra Declaring 14th April as a national holiday on the birth anniversary of Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, is a historic decision, for which I heartily thank the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Bhai Modi, on behalf of the entire Dalit community. He said that the five pilgrimages of Baba Saheb have been given the status of Panch Teerth by Prime Minister Modi by making them world-class sites, which is a true tribute to Baba Saheb from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP government at the Center headed by him. But the Bhagwant Mann government of Punjab, which gained power by playing politics by putting pictures of Babasaheb and Shaheed Bhagat Singh, deliberately forgot to organize a state level program of Dr. Ambedkar, which Dalit society will never tolerate. Not only this, the AAP government deliberately did not organize the program of Shri Guru Ravidas ji. AAP will definitely answer this in this Lok Sabha election.
On this occasion, BJP State General Secretary Rajesh Baga, Anil Sachar, State Media Secretary Janardan Sharma, Amit Bhatia etc. were also present with him.
