BJP COMMITTED TO WORK FOR DEVELOPMENT OF AREA: SIRSA

CONGRESS AND AAP HAS CONCEDED DEFEAT WITH APPEAL TO STOP DECLARTION OF RESULT OF BYE POLL: SIRSA

New Delhi, March 27 : The Bhartiya Janta Party candidate from Rajouri Garden Mr. Manjinder Singh Sirsa has said that the Congress and AAP have already conceded defeat by urging the Election Commission to stop declaration of results of the Bye poll for the Rajouri Garden seat.

He said that this has showed utter nervousness of both the parties who are now running away from the election.

Mr. Sirsa said that it was most unfortunate that Congress had represented the area twice whereas AAP legislator also served the constituency but neither of them bothered to carry on development works in the areas falling in the constituency. He said that the pitiable conditions of roads and basic infrastructure in the constituency is testimony of the failure of both the parties in doing welfare works. He said that whatever little has been done in the area was done during his own short stint as MLA. He said that it was most unfortunate that these parties have always focused on doing politics instead of working for the betterment of the people.

BJP COMMITTED TO WORK FOR DEVELOPMENT OF AREA : SIRSA

Mr. Manjinder Singh Sirsa further said that unlike his opponents his sole agenda is of doing public welfare works and carrying on development of the area. He said that The BJP is committed in carrying on with development agenda. He said that it was also high time for the people of the Rajouri Garden to vote for BJP as it is the only party which is in real sense working for the country and its people. Lashing out at AAP he said that like old habits it is still making tall and false promises with the people totally ignoring the legal provisions prevailing in the country and in the national capital.

Meanwhile Mr. Sirsa has further intensified his door to door campaign. He visited Vishnu garden and other areas falling under the constituency where he was warmly received by the people who are eager to vote for the BJP in the present election.

‘You don’t belong in this country’: White man yells at Sikh-American woman in NY

A Sikh-American woman was allegedly harassed on a subway train in New York after a white man mistook her for a West Asian and allegedly shouted “you don’t belong in this country” --- the latest in a series of hate crimes against people of South-Asian origin.

Rajpreet Heir was taking the subway train to a friend’s birthday party in Manhattan this month when the white man began shouting at her, according to a report in the New York Times.

Heir recounted the ordeal in a video for a Times section called ‘This Week in Hate’, which highlights hate crimes and harassment around the country since the election of President Donald Trump.

Heir said she was looking at her phone when the white man shouted at her saying, “Do you even know what a Marine looks like? Do you know what they have to see? What they do for this country? Because of people like you.”

DSGMC postpones office-bearers’ elections to March 28

Failing to reach consensus over certain posts, the newly elected Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) on Friday postponed the elections of its office-bearers to March 28.

Sources said Manjinder Singh Sirsa, who was the general secretary in the previous term, wanted to be re-elected to the second senior-most post of the gurdwara body, but was challenged by three other contenders: Harmeet Singh Kalka, Harmanjit Singh and Amarjeet Singh Pappu.

They staked their claim, taking the plea that the post needs to be filled by a new face. As things got chaotic, Avtar Singh Hit also staked his claim for the post of president.

As the House couldn’t reach a consensus, the elections were postponed, with Manjit Singh GK unanimously elected the pro tem chairman.

DSGMC: Bypoll for Delhi’s Sikh-dominated Rajouri Garden seat on April 9

The by election to the Sikh-dominated Rajouri Garden assembly segment in Delhi will take place on April 9. The seat fell vacant after the Aam Aadmi Party’s Jarnail Singh resigned in January 2017 to contest the Punjab assembly elections opposite Shiromani Akali Dal supremo and then chief minister Parkash Singh Badal from Lambi.

The BJP-Akali combine has fielded Manjinder Singh Sirsa in the bypoll. He is also vying for re-election to the post of general secretary of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC). Sirsa was the coalition’s choice from Rajouri Garden in the Delhi elections in December 2013 as well. Elected to the assembly in those polls, he lost the seat in January 2014 elections, despite polling 45,000 votes as compared to 41,000 in the previous elections.

The slope on its back makes it a top notch sedan and quite beautiful in looks with LED stop lamps and the LED tail lamps. The petrol version has the 15 inch Alloy wheels while the Diesel version has the 14 inch alloy wheels.

Interiors again are very impressive. It has the Automatic climate control system. The infotainment system has been designed by Harman, with a five inch touch screen, eight speakers, and with the best of the sound quality in this segment. 

The steering wheel is quite sporty and adjustable, and has the telephony as well the audio controls on it. Seating system of the TIGOR also looked quite comfortable.

We had to start from the Aerocity in Delhi, towards the Heritage Transport museum in Sohna & back but via NH 8, while returning. We were offered both the petrol as well as the Diesel versions. 

Kartik from Chennai was with me and he opted the Petrol version. The journey started and we passed from all kinds of roads that included busy ones, hilly as well the rural. The sedan performed perfectly and Kartik looked quite happy on driving it for the one side journey while I was busy in clicking the pics & videos.

While coming back I was in the driving seat and the beautiful machine that I had was a Diesel version. It was my first feel of TIGOR on the driving seat and truly it was quite impressive. The sedan was quite smooth in driving and truly very comfortable.
