Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on Saturday accused the Jakhar family for using electorate of Fazilka, Abohar and Ferozepur just to gain political benefits alleging that they have done nothing for the betterment and development of border belt.
"The Jakhar family has zero contribution in the development of Abohar and Fazilka," he said, while presiding over a gathering on Hanumangarh Road after laying foundation stones for Sewerage Treatment Plant at a cost of Rs21 crore and Water Works at a cost of Rs7 crore.Badal said the family has been ruling the constituency for the last 40 years only for their own vested political purposes aiming by befooling the electorate.He said the project would be a boon for the whole belt as the area had been suffering a lot in absence of Water Treatment Plant and Sewerage system.
