The enterprising people of Punjab have proved their mettle once again and that too in a foreign land. Four Punjabis — Harinder Takhar, Vic Dhillon, Dr Kuldeep Kular and Amrit Mangat — have won the Canadian provincial polls, the results of which were declared on Thursday, for the second time in a row. Significantly, all of them are from the Liberal party and have achieved the feat of winning back-to-back elections after 70 years
.
Kuldeep Harinder Takhar, a minister for small business and entrepreneurship in the current Dalton McGuinty government, has won from Mississauga Erindale centre by trouncing

progressive Conservative party nominee David Brown. Takhar had migrated to Canada in 1974 and was made provincial minister of transportation after his first win in 2003, but was later shifted to small business and entrepreneurship ministry. A Punjabi weekly ‘Door Desh’ editor Dr Sarabjit Ghuman told the TOI that Punjabis have contributed a lot to his win.

Vic Dhillon, belonging to Bhogpur village in Punjab, has achieved victory for the second time at the age of just 38 years. Vic, presently parliamentary assistant to minister of government service, was elected in 2003 from Brampton West constituency, from where he has won again. Vic has contributed a lot towards relief activities for Tsunami-hit victims in Asia and earthquake-hit people in POK.
