Another lavish party...

LUDHIANA: The heat has been turned on as Sutlej Club members wait in anticipation for its elections. On Monday two more candidates joined the brigade of those throwing swish parties to woo supporters. Businessman Gurinder Singh Laddi, who has pitched himself against Gulshan Kumar for the post of vice-president, and veterinary doctor Rohit Dutta, standing for the post of general secretary, hosted a party at a resort on Ferozepur Road.
Over 1,000 people attended the bash. Gurinder, a resident of South City, said he hosted the party to share his plans for the club and how he can be an asset for it. ‘‘I know Gulshan is contesting for the same post and there is a kind of friendly match between us. There is nothing personal about it,” he said.
Dr Sandeep Puri, who stays in Tagore Nagar, said he is supporting Gurinder. ‘‘He is the perfect one for the post of vice-president,'' said Sanjay Batra of Civil Lines. BRS Nagar's Nitu Jaggi also vouched for Gurinder. ‘‘I have known him for many years and I have blind faith in him,” he added.
Dr Rohit, who stays in Moti Nagar, said it's the first time he is contesting the elections.
Industrialist Sandeep Jain of Civil Lines said everyone should be given a chance to prove his abilities. Mall Enclave-resident Mahesh Goyal said he will help Rohit win the elections. Giving a thumbs up for the party, industrialist Puppy Saluja, who stays on Ferozepur Road, said he enjoyed a lot and it was great time for club members to bond.
