POWER PUNCH Two-time MLA enjoys rapport with Capt Amarinder
WHAT NEXT With no rivals and a good record, he is likely to get ticket
HOW HE PERFORMED
He failed to bring in any major projects or development works in his constituency in the last five years. A fact that he attributed to his party being in the opposition. Sarkaria got Rs 3 crore from the MPLAD fund of Amritsar MP Capt Amarinder Singh, which he distributed in a few villages. As he resides in Amritsar city, voters had to contact him there. He did not launch any major agitation from his constituency though he did protest before district officials for being ignored in the distribution of grants. His absence from the constituency is talked about. Border villages in his area continue to be deprived of basic facilities, even links roads. Akali halqa in-charge Veer Singh Lopoke remained more active and was instrumental in distributing grants to villages.
