Terming the Congress-led UPA Government as the ‘most corrupt Government in the annals of Indian history’, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Wednesday said that after the formation of NDA Government at the Centre, the UPA leaders would be made accountable for every single penny plundered by them from the public exchequer.

Badal, addressing a gathering on the conference to mark Gurgaddi Diwas of Guru Angad Dev, said that the NDA government would not spare these corrupt leaders for their misdeeds. “Congress leaders have mercilessly looted public money during their tenure and multi-crore scams like CWG, Coalgate, Adarsh and other speaks volume of the rampant corruption in UPA regime. UPA leaders have stashed their black money, earned from such scams, in foreign banks which is equal to the state’s annual budget,” said Badal.

Coming down heavily on UPA government, the Chief Minister said that this spineless government has miserably failed on all the fronts and due to its weaknesses, the internal and external sovereignty of the nation was in deep peril. He said that on the one hand the countries like China and Pakistan were posing grave threat to external security of the country and on the other the communal riots in many parts of country were making the life of people miserable but the UPA government was a mute spectator to all these things.

Terming the Central grants as a huge fraud with the people, Badal said that riders it has imposed while issuing grants were resulting in country’s lopsided development. Giving a clarion call to ‘capture Delhi’ in ensuing lok Sabha polls, Badal exhorted the people to form NDA government for getting long pending issues of state resolved.
