Citing the money being spent by the SAD-BJP alliance Government for unprecedented development works and number of public welfare schemes in Punjab, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Monday asked the Opposition to refrain from spreading canards regarding State’s poor fiscal condition.
Badal, interacting with the media persons on the sidelines of Sangat Darshan program of Khadoor Sahib assembly segment, said that before issuing baseless statements regarding debt on the state, the Opposition parties must verify facts about massive development going on in every nook and corner of the State.
“An era of unparalleled development has been heralded in the state during the alliance government and a complete facelift of villages and cities is on cards, which could never have turned into reality in case of any paucity of funds. So just get yourself acquainted with the ground realities rather than making vague statements for opposing the government for the sake of opposition,” Badal advised the opposition leaders.
Coming down heavily on the state Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh for issuing statements regarding routing of SAD from political scene of the state, the Chief Minister termed it as a mere ‘figment of imagination’ of the Congress leader.
“Before making such tall claims, the state Congress president must recall that how the people of state have rejected him and his party time and again,” said Badal, adding that Captain was issuing baseless statements on series of sacrilege incidents in the state, just to hog limelight.
