Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Sunday said that Congress Deputy leader in lok Sabha Capt Amarinder Singh would never succeed in his nefarious designs to create a wedge between the "holy alliance" of SAD-BJP.
Badal, on the sidelines of the last leg of his three-day Sangat Darshan programme in the Jandiala Guru assembly segment, said that Capt Amarinder Singh was hell bent upon to destabilise SAD-BJP alliance for the sake of his own vested interest.
He said: "Capt Amarinder Singh knows well as long as SAD-BJP alliance is intact, he won't be able to realise his dream to become the Chief Minister."
Badal said that former Chief Minister was all out to tarnish the image of SAD-BJP alliance government to project himself the future Chief Minister by making illogical and out of context statements which neither have an iota of truth nor any impact on the public.
He reminded Capt Amarinder of age old legacy of Congress party to "divide and rule" and Capt Amarinder was too acting on the same agenda.
Badal asked Capt Amarinder to realise his actual position in the state politics as he has been negated twice during the state assembly polls.
Training guns on Capt Amarinder for making statement that the state was passing through severe agrarian crisis, the Chief Minister said that instead of accusing us, he should introspect, what he did to improve the lot of poor farmers during his tenure.
Badal asked Capt Amarinder to verify his record that it was during his tenure that the poor farmers were deprived of free power in the farm sector whereas our government was still providing it to the peasantry at the cost of huge subsidy to tune of Rs 5,500 crore, which was duly reimbursed by the state government.
He pointed out that it was on the record that our government had been giving eight-hour uninterrupted power supply to the farmers from day one since we assumed office, whereas it was a distant dream during the tenure of Capt Amarinder.
The Chief Minister lamented that Punjab had always on the agenda of least priority on the Congress leadership in Centre.
He dared Capt Amarinder to explain what he secured in terms of any special package or major development project from the UPA government during his tenure.
"On the contrary, our government (NDA) has got so many prestigious projects like AIIMS, IIM, National Horticulture Institute and Heritage status to holy city Amritsar within a short span of just 16 months," he said.
Badal reiterated that he would continue his Sangat Darshan programs with same enthusiasm and dedication to resolve the issues related to the welfare and prosperity of the people.
"Captain's mass contact program across the state is a ploy whereas I am committed to give justice to the people at their doorstep thereby bridging the communication between the administration and the masses," he said.
