Meanwhile, there are 4,200 youths from Punjab, who have already cleared physical and other tests, but have been waiting to be recruited in the Army. Still, the state government is slashing the number of beneficiaries. Post partition Punjab before reorganization in 1966, had seen its ablest chief minister in the form of Partap Singh Kairon. The state has no burden of PDS under the blue cards and the Centre has to provide the same. Why are they doing this?

On the day the SAD held a massive rally in Moga, Adesh, not only stayed away, but was also spotted holding a very small meeting of his own at the house of one of his supporters in the tiny village of Jhugian Natha Singh, near the Indo-Pakistan border.

A three-time Food and Civil Supplies minister in the erstwhile SAD-BJP governments in the state between 19, Adesh is known for keeping his campaigns low- profile and for maintaining a distance from the media. Adesh, the son of former Punjab Chief Minister, Partap Singh Kairon, has been moving door-to-door seeking support from the electorates for the upcoming state Assembly elections.
