Congress Government in Punjab has become a synonym for betrayal and false promises, State BJP alleged on Saturday.
Party vice-president Harjit Singh Grewal and party State secretary Vineet Joshi took on the State Government saying it had done nothing and none of the poll promises had been met. The BJP leaders were addressing a Press conference on completion of Capt. Amarinder Singh’s seven months in office.
“The intentions of the State Government towards farmers don’t seem good. The Government has done nothing but only made announcements on loan waiver for the farmers,” they said.
BJP said that after winning the Gurdaspur bypoll, the Government did not give any DA to employees and also some categories of Government employees were not given their monthly salaries.
Not only this, local Bodies Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu unleashed political vendetta against a cable operator and put pressure on the cabinet to impose entertainment tax on the common people.
“Capt. Amarinder Singh’s government is indulging in political vendetta by using the state police. State machinery was misused during Gurdaspur bypoll and incidents of loot, rape and murder have become a norm in the state during the last seven months. Murder of RSS member Ravinder Gosain is a latest example of deteriorating law and order situation in Punjab”, Grewal and Joshi alleged.
