Coming down heavily on Capt Amarinder Singh and the Badals, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Wednesday said these families are hand-in-glove with the Union Government led by Narendra Modi for ruining Punjab in order to achieve their personal motives.
“Firstly, the Badals implemented the farm laws in the State and then played a leading role in getting the same enforced upon the entire country by giving ill advice to the Narendra Modi led Union Government,” said Channi addressing a mammoth gathering during a State level function.
He pointed out that in order to save the ministerial berth of Harsimrat Kaur Badal, the Badal family went to the extent of even campaigning in support of these black laws. “Harsimrat didn’t resign on her own from the Union Cabinet but the massive angst amongst the people forced her to do so,” he said.
Taking on the former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, Channi said Captain is also backstabbing Punjab and the Punjabis by aligning with the Modi Government and justifying the notification of the Central Government enhancing the jurisdiction of BSF in Punjab by 50 kms. “This is a direct attack on the rights of States as well as the federal structure which would not be tolerated by the Punjabis,” said the Chief Minister.
Intensifying the attacks on the Badal and the Capt Amarinder families, Channi said it was due to their joining hands with each other that the transport and cable mafia has looted the people of Punjab.
Although it’s been only two months since he has taken over as the Chief Minister, he has nipped the evil of Transport mafia nurtured by the Badals, in the bud. Now, the State Government is fully geared up to act tough on the cable mafia which also received their patronage, he said.
Taking the attack right into the opposition ranks and castigating AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister said that the Delhi Chief Minister’s bunch of men is plotting to rob Punjab on the pattern of outside invaders by donning the garb of ‘aam aadmi’.
“Punjab’s sensible people would not let the nefarious designs of such imposters to succeed,” said the Chief Minister adding clearly that Punjab would only be ruled by the people of the State as the likes of Kejriwal have absolutely no familiarity with the problems as well as the needs of the common masses of the State.
Kejriwal just wants to capture power in Punjab by resorting to drama and false guarantees as beyond that he has no concern for the State of Punjab.
On the occasion, Chief Minister Channi also announced a slew of development initiatives to ensure holistic growth and people’s prosperity of the Nihalsingh Wala assembly constituency and assured that funds would be no hindrance in executing the development centric projects.
He also announced a grant worth Rs 15 crore for the overall development of Nihalsingh Wala constituency besides strengthening all approach roads. Fulfilling a long pending demand of the region, the Chief Minister also announced a degree college for the constituency.
Exhorting the people of the region to unitely vote for the Congress party in the impending assembly polls rising above the party level for establishing the rule of the common man, Channi assured them of giving ticket only to the leader popular among the masses.
The CM also formally initiated the process of giving 5 Marla plots to the beneficiaries by awarding the ‘Sanads’ to the two beneficiaries. Today, as many as 1,294 beneficiaries were awarded the Sanads in the Moga District.
Capt a State liability, Punjabis will teach him and BJP a life-term lesson: Raja Warring
Punjab Transport Minister Amarinder Singh Raja Warring on Wednesday said the former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh is a State liability and the people will teach both him and BJP a lifetime lesson in forthcoming polls. Asserting confidence in the path-breaking policy initiatives undertaken by the Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi-led State Government, Warring said the people of Punjab have seen what could be achieved with true political intent and they have made their mind to re-elect the Congress in 2022 with a thumping majority.
Scotching all talk of any Opposition to the Congress regaining power in the State, Warring said Arvind Kejriwal’s shocking double standards on farmers’ issues have exposed him fully. Punjabis will never forgive Kejriwal for backstabbing our farmers by passing one of these three black laws in Delhi Assembly, he said. Training his guns at Capt Amarinder for “criminally colluding” with the Badals to ruin Punjab, Warring said that precious four and half years were lost due to former Chief Minister’s illegal pact with Parkash Singh Badal and Sukhbir Badal.
