Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Friday asked the people of the State to do soul searching to ascertain who was their real friend or foe.
Addressing the people on the first day of his Sangat Darshan program in Nawanshahar assembly constituency, Badal called upon the people not to be swayed by the emotionally surcharged speeches of our opponents, that were completely devoid of any sincerity, loyalty and commitment towards that state and its people.
Hitting hard at the Congress and AAP for playing political gimmicks to woo the voters for the sake of their narrow vested interests, Badal asked the people to be wary of their nefarious designs to satiate their lust for power.
Without mincing any words, Badal questioned: “What you people expect from the Congress and its leadership which had ruined our state politically, economically and religiously adding he said that hardly any evidence was needed to prove their treachery.” He said that none could forget Congress leadership’s unpardonable role on river waters.
Apart from that, Congress party’s pro-active role in the construction of SYl canal at the behest of the then Prime Minister late Indira Gandhi in 1982 at its splendid foundation laying ceremony in village Kapuri in the presence of present PPCC president Capt Amarinder Singh, the then MP from Patiala constituency.
lambasting AAP as a band of tricksters (shurlibaaz), Badal said that their leadership was novice and had hardly any experience to run the State, you can judge their level of administrative acumen and capability from their Delhi model, which had proved to be an utter failure.
Chief Minister chided his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal who was living in fool’s paradise to rule in Punjab despite the fact that he was not even remotely associated with the ground realities of state and its people.
Talking to the media persons about the C-survey got conducted by the AAP with regard to assembly polls in the state, the Chief Minister out rightly rejected as fake, manipulated and imaginary.
Ask to comment on prevalent farm crisis, the Chief Minister suggested that Centre should take an immediate call on this sensitive issue and constitute a high-powered committee comprising agriculture experts and economists to bail out the beleaguered peasantry from these agrarian crises.
Highlighting the significance of Sangat Darhsan program, the Chief Minister said that it was an interactive platform with two way communication to redress the grievances of the people at their doorsteps.
He implored the officers to serve the people with a sense of missionary zeal and commitment.
