AAP ditched Delhi in quest for Punjab: Sukhbir

Castigating the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for ditching its responsibility towards the people of Delhi, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal on Wednesday said that AAP, in its greedy quest for attaining power in Punjab, has paid absolutely no heed to the development and aspirations of Delhi masses.

Touching the developmental plank, Sukhbir said that the SAD-BJP Government has effected matchless development since independence throughout the State especially in border areas. 

He also divulged that more than Rs 700 crore has been spent on the holistic development of border area during the previous years. 

“SAD-BJP Government has undertaken several path breaking measures aimed at ensuring the overall progress of Punjab and these include surplus power, Atta-Dal, pensions doubled, utensils to poor sections for marriage and other social occasions, free health insurance for farmers and traders, free 200 unit power to SC households, free power to farmers, excellent road infrastructure,” he said.
