Punjab MSMEs happy with Capt Amarinder’s win; say hopeful to see dying industries revive

Ludhiana, Mar 11 (KNN) The micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Punjab are celebrating today but the celebration is not just for Congress heading for victory in the state but also for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) likely not coming to power.

Till yesterday, many exit polls and the political experts were optimistic that AAP will sweep away Punjab but the results proved them wrong.

 Talking to KNN, the MSME associations in Punjab said they were not worried about SAD-BJP or Congress coming to power rather they did just not want Aam Aadmi Party to take charge in the state.

PD Sharma, President, Apex Chamber of Commerce told KNN, “We are very happy with the results. The industry was afraid of AAP coming to power.”

Sharma said the MSMEs are now hopeful to see development and industrialization in the state under Captain Amarinder Singh.

Talking about the poor state of industry in the state, Sharma said the funds with the state government was over and also the Centre has a major role to play in the development of states as well.

Jasbir Singh, Chairman, Mohali Industries Association (MIA) said the industry has unanimously supported Congress here the industry wanted Captain Singh to come to power so that the state sees development. He said the industry had no hopes from the Aam Aadmi Party.

The industries which are closed since last 5 years will now be revived, Singh said.

He pointed that the industries in Gobindgarh are completely closed and the association is now hopeful that under Captain Singh the industries there will be revived.

MIA also said that the small sector is facing a lot of problem in the region from ESIC’ front, so with the new government taking charge, they see a ray of light for the long stranding issue getting solved.

Congress’ victory in Punjab is being celebrated by Captain Singh’s supporters but it is also giving a worry to AAP at national level. (KNN Bureau)
