     Fatehgarh Sahib, Nov 2 (PTI) SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Monday said if his party is voted to power in the upcoming assembly elections, it will keep a special quota for 'Made in Punjab' products for all government purchases to give a fillip to the industry in the state.

     Badal, who held interactions with members of the trade and industry at Fatehgarh Sahib and Nabha, also promised that his party would encourage small and medium industry in a big way.

     "We will allow all new units in these categories to retain the state GST. We will also put an end to Inspector Raj," he said.

     Assembly elections in Punjab are due early next year.

     He also announced that power would be supplied to the entire industrial sector at Rs 5 per unit and that the Rahat scheme would be re-introduced.

     "This scheme will end the need for traders to keep accounts and they will be able to complete their tax liabilities by paying lump sum tax," he said.

     Asserting that SAD believed in trusting its citizens, Badal said "we will end Inspector Raj once and for all. No government official will come to your premises and harass you".

     The SAD chief also said that if his party comes to power, it would establish a Focal Point in Sirhind. "We understand the location advantages of this city and want to exploit the same by creating a Focal Point across one thousand acres of land."

     Asserting that all this was possible if they (people) made the right choice, the SAD president said that "you must make a right decision on who is your choice for the next chief minister. One wrong decision could result in wasting five more years".

     He urged the trade and industry to analyze the work done by the erstwhile SAD government with the subsequent Congress and present AAP governments.

     "If SAD has made Punjab power surplus, created a world class road network, built airports and brought investment into the state, then you should bring in a SAD government in the next elections," he added.
