The clear and honest image of Shmt. Lakshmi kanta chawla will provide a cutting edge in the upcoming elections for Amristar lok sabah constituency and the balance now looks finely tilted in favour of Shri.
Arun Jaitley. While talking to the press here in Amritsar, National Secretary BJP Kisan Morcha and Prabhari Himachal Pradesh Advocate, Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal assured everyone of a huge victory for the SAD-BJP Star Contestant Shri. Arun Jaitley. Grewal challenged Congress and AAP candidates .

Grewal said involvement of Shmt.chawla makes this star studded contest a mere formality as Shmt.Chawla holds an unmatched public support in urban and rural Amritsar constituency.
Grewal declared that this elections may well go down in history books as one of the single sided elections in modern india . People in Amritsar love her for her simplicity and her sense of justice .During her three terms as an MLA, she chose to stay at MLA Hostel rather than take a flat. Even when she was a minister, She lived in MLA Hostel so as to reduce unnecessary burden on state exchequer . she had been a staunch Activist fighting for Women and children rights from a very young age. In the 1970s, she led campaigns against bride burning .
In the ’80s when Punjab was engulfed by terrorism, she drove her moped to newspaper offices, distributing press releases against militants – a rare act of courage those days. She was among the few BJP leaders who spoke out in favour of victims of terrorist violence, including Sikhs. Following her efforts, compensation was awarded to the victims. Grewal said that Shmt.
