Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal on Tuesdau today lashed out on Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and said that Mann had achieved the unique distinction of being the worst CM of Punjab who had not only bankrupted the State but had also looted its resources on the orders of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Convener Arvind Kejriwal.
The SAD President, who was addressing the congregation during his “Punjab Bachao Yatra” which reached to this border village today said that the Chief Minister has looted Punjab’s treasuries to fill the coffers of AAP and spread the reach of AAP in other States. “Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal is forcing Mann to do this to retain his chair and Mann is behaving like a puppet and is unmindful of the welfare of Punjab and Punjabis”, said Sukhbir
Challenging CM Mann to disclose one development work which had been conducted during the two year tenure of the AAP government, Sukhbir said that forget creating any infrastructure, even basic civil facilities are being denied to the people. He said all social welfare benefits had been curtailed, put on hold or scrapped.(SUBHEAD)
Urging Punjabis to unite to rid the State of the “looters from Delhi”, Sukhbir alleged that AAP government has borrowed one lakh crore in the last two years but has nothing to show for it”. He said even now the government was relying on advertisements and cheap public “tamashas” instead of doing anything for Punjabis. “This is the reason why investment worth Rs 20,000 crore has migrated from Punjab to other States even as no one is ready to invest in Punjab from outside due to the breakdown of law and order and gangster raj”, said Sukhbir.
Sukhbir who was accompanied by Ex- MLA Joginder Singh Jindu also met the staff members of Shaheed Bhagat Singh State University who had not received since the last six months. Describing the conduct of the AAP government as “abominable” Sukhbir said that if this is how this government treats teachers what can we expect from it.
Those who accompanied the SAD President included Satish Grover, Sunny Brar, Ravinder Singh Babbal, Gurkanwal Singh and Babreek Singh in Faridkot and Chamkaur Singh Tibbi, Surinder Singh Babbu and Chitbeer Singh Zira in Ferozepur Rural.
