Speaking on the occasion, District Congress Committee (Urban) president Ved Parkash Gupta thanked all the party workers for their contribution to the party's victory during the elections.

While Punjab Congress vice-president Lal Singh and general secretary Sant Ram Singla gave details about the party's performance under the charge of Captain Amarinder Singh, Parneet Kaur thanked the party workers and assured them her full help in their endeavours. She said she would work with commitment towards the development of the area.

Captain Amarinder Singh, while addressing the function, said the Punjab Congress will not allow the state government to play with the sentiments of the people anymore. He said it was time the government did something about the precarious financial position of the state.

Despite this being the PCC chief's maiden public appearance after the Lok Sabha elections here, it failed to generate support from the party worker's who were nowhere on the scene.
