Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal on Wednesday come down heavily on Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress for stooping so low as to the extent of practicing narrow politics.

Comparing both AAP and the Congress with the East India Company, Sukhbir said that the sole agenda of these parties is centered on robbing Punjab of its prosperity for which they can go to any length.

“Keeping in view the destructive agenda of these power hungry parties, the people of Punjab should stay cautious and thwart any nefarious design of these anti-Punjab forces,” he said.

Sukhbir, addressing people during second day of his Sangat Darshan at Nihal Singh Wala, said that the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is the only party working tirelessly round the clock to ensure development and prosperity of the State and mitigates the problems faced by Punjabi community worldwide, being their true representative.

He said that the amount of development unleashed by the SAD-BJP Government during previous nine years remains unparalled and expressed strong hope that the SAD-BJP would score a hat-trick in 2017 thus continuing the legacy of serving the people selflessly.

Coming to the developmental agenda, Sukhbir divulged that the work on new road from Delhi-Amritsar via Moga would begin soon for which the initiating process has commenced with Union Government.

Sukhbir, later interacting with the media-persons, said that Congress and AAP are willfully defaming Punjab just to further their electoral prospects.

Taking on Punjab Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh, he said that the PPCC president has still not come out clean concerning the acceptance of honour from extremist elements in Dixie Gurudwara in Canada.

Terming the politics being practiced by Capt Amarinder as only centered on making merry, Sukhbir said that Captain has got no developmental agenda regarding Punjab to showcase before people.

Calling AAP a party of rejected people, he said that this party cannot list even a single futuristic progressive measure for Punjab.
