For the past 30 years, we, along with our 100s NRI
entrepreneurs are very tired, the promises given by Indian politicians.
We have questions all the time in our mind:
- Are there any honest Indian politicians?
- Is it possible, in India, to be truly honest politician and
still be effective?
A willingness to ignore ethical norms may be necessary for success
in politics; but it's not in the blood
of NRIs. One problem is always there,
the people of the India have always
loved their corrupt politicians, as long as they deliver. That's
the reality that someone like NRI has to face. NRI always say, "I
just try to do the best I can, speak openly about what I believe
in."
Quite possibly, it's this guy...
- He is the man who after winning the election, call our NRI press
reporter after 1/2 hour when we left a message in his hotel.
- He is the man who surrendered his British citizenship for Indian
politics to help poor people
- He is the man who spend his own money for election and donate
to schools and villages development
- He is the man who goes village to village and meet people after
election
- He is the man who communicate NRIs to solve their problems
More than
200 NRI entrepreneurs, businessmen and local residents attended
this function. We can name some of them- Baljinder Singh Buthari,
Charanjit Singh Bath, Sikander Singh Grewal, S.Kamaljeet Singh
Buthari, S.Charan Singh Gurm, Hardev Singh Qila Raipur, Amarjeet

He was born in India but raised on England. Now he got Indian
Citizenship. He is the first MLA from Qila Raipur Constituency representing

Mr. Khangura has a mission in serve his fellow Punjabi. He is
the man of his words and he promised to stand behind that. His ideal

Following proposals were discussed during his fist US visit since
he has been elected MLA for Punjab Assembly.
- Education: Mr. Khangura is not in favor Adrash Schools (Beacon
Schools) as planned by Punjab Government; rather he wants to establish
Senior Secondary Schools in bigger villages and want to establish
busing system to bring students from neighboring villages. According
to Mr. Khangura Adrash Schools will create more inequality in
rural education.
- Being a NRI, Mr. Khangura is committed to work for NRIs as
well. Soon after his Election , first thing he did is that he
requested Chief Minister to establish NRI Register so that government
could keep track of NRI and their problems related to property,
marriages and police harassments to NRIs. He is working on this.
- During press conference Mr. Khangura had shown keen interest
in bringing millions of NRIs at one platform so that their concerns
could me handled on state and district levels in Punjab and also
abroad.
- His first step is to bring poor people of his constituency
out of vicious circle of poverty and for that he is establishing
village cotton industry. By doing this he promised to provide
employment to landless villagers.
Mr. Khangura will be proved good asset to the people of his constituency,
state and nation as a whole in days to come. He is on his mission
to see real progress in Punjab. Unlike to other politician, he is
not giving false promises, rather he criticized government promises
of Nuclear Power Plants, Metro Train in Punjab. According to him,
it is not possible to get a nuclear power in few months; it takes
years of planning to make it a reality. He is going to raise question
to the government regarding over expenditure of propaganda of Metro
Train in Punjab. According to Mr. Khangura, Government already spent
Rs 10 Million for letting people know that the government is signing
MOU with Delhi Metro to build Metro Train in Punjab.
This function was arranged by Balbir Singh Sekhon who belongs to
Village Chappar of Qila Raipur constituency. There were about 200
prominent local resident of San Francisco Bay Area. At this function
Mr. Jaspal Singh Saini from Los Angles presented him Letter from
US Congressman to recognized Mr. Khangura as guest of the state.
