SAD president Sukhbir Badal on Monday said that the 2019 Lok Sabha elections would be the “last election not only for the present Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, but also for his party”.
“Like SS Ray in West Bengal, Capt Amarinder’s ineptitude for and total disinterest in working for the people and his arrogance and penchant for leisure and pleasure culture have already driven the last nail in the Congress coffin here. SAD and the people of Punjab are merely going to perform the last rites for the dead body called INC,” said Sukhbir adding that the SAD-BJP alliance is poised to sweep all 14 seats in Punjab and Chandigarh.
Sukhbir, while addressing the party workers in ward-wise meetings in Sangrur from where former Finance Minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa is the alliance candidate, said that the Congress in Punjab was haunted by divine wrath because of the false oath taken by the Chief Minister Capt Amarinder in the name of the sacred charan of Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji.
“This and the total and humiliating neglect of development and welfare priorities of the State as well as the Chief Minister’s complete indifference to the problems and sufferings of the people has left the Congress cadre completely frustrated, disheartened and disillusioned with their own party and its government,” he said, adding that the average Congress worker has now sensed that the poll in the state is a ‘no contest’.
Sukhbir also addressed members of the Sangrur Bar Council where he appealed to the intellectual fraternity in the state to see through the Congress government’s tactics of distracting people's attention from the real issues being faced by the common man in the state.
“The Congress govt is deliberately prolonging inquiries into emotional issues because they don’t want people to question them on their government’s non-performance and absolute absence of good governance...The Congress government has gone back on each and every promise which Amarinder had made to the people under a sacred oath. Now, they are using alibis like lack of funds,” he said.
