Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Sunday accused the Congress of indulging in cheap politics by criticising SAD-BJP Government’s Sangat Darshan programmes, saying that this had exposed the party’s “anti-people face”.
“Devoid of any issue, the State Congress is indulging in cheap tactics by opposing the Sangat Darshan programmes just for scoring brownie points in the media.
“This has exposed the party’s anti-people face. This also shows that Congress can go to any extent to derail the process of development in the State,” Badal told a gathering.
He said that Sangat Darshan programme was instrumental in mitigating woes of the common people besides contributing to the State’s overall development.
Taking a swipe at State Congress leadership, he said that it had become a fashion among Congress leaders to criticise every constructive work of the State Government without dwelling on its merit and demerits. Alleging the Congress leaders were opposing Sangat Darshan for vested interest, he said nobody could deter him from holding such programmes.
