Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh on Tuesday ridiculed Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal’s dreams of forming the government again in 2017 saying, he should actually prepare himself for the political exile that people of Punjab are going to pronounce on him.
“Given the current circumstances and the anger prevailing among people against the Badals, the exile will be the only option available to them as people will chase them out for all the sins of omission and commission during two tenures”, Capt Amarinder said.
He said, the Chief Minister was guilty of the cardinal sin of ordering the desecration of the Holy Guru Granth Saheb in an attempt at controlled destabilisation in the State to divert public attention. “Such sins cannot and will never be forgotten or forgiven”, he said.
Besides, he added, Badal had failed all sections of the state whether the farmers, the youth, the industry, the employees and everyone else. “Because he could never look beyond his family and clan with seven MlAs of his family in the Vidhan Sabha and four of them being ministers and another in the central government”, he alleged.
Reacting to Mr Badal’s claims that he shall be forming the government for the third consecutive term in 2017, the PCC president challenged him to name a single assembly segment that he or his party can claim to be safe to contest from. “You may fool some people sometimes, but you cannot fool all the people all the time”, he told Badal.
