He appealed to the people of Punjab to change the government with the changing season as previous government had done nothing for the people.

He promised that Akali Dal after forming the govenment in Punjab would provide 24-hour power supply to farmers, the industrialists who left the state due to wrong policies of the Congress government would be brought back where unemployed youth would be given jobs.
