Badal, interacting with the mediapersons on the sidelines of his Sangat Darshan programme in lambi Assembly segment, said that it was a fact that Kejriwal was suffering from “anti-Punjab syndrome” and his stand on Sutlej Yamuna link (SYl) canal was contrary to the interests of the State.
“Nothing good can be expected for the State from Kejriwal, who has no sympathy with Punjab or its people,” he added. lashing out at the Congress and AAP, Badal alleged that both these parties were “conniving” to turn the State into desert by constructing SYl canal.
He alleged that while the Congress had “planned and executed plan” to snatch water of the State, the AAP was now its toes to get SYl constructed at the earliest. On Congress’ leaders’ act of removing Badal’s posters from buses, the Chief Minister said that the act of Congress party “to remove posters of Government from buses reflects the frustration of the Congress leaders”.
“This incident is highly unfortunate as it is totally against the ethos of democracy,” said Badal while asking the Congress leaders to explain what benefit they would get by damaging Government property.
