Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Sunday asked Punjab local Bodies Minister Navjot Sidhu to talk less and deliver more. At the same time, the party also asked him to tell Punjabis one major contribution he had made to the state except flagging off faulty fire tenders.
The party also advised Sidhu not to make “khyali pulao” everyday. “Today, we have learnt of your latest dream that the State lost Rs 2,500 crore in outdoor advertising during the last five year SAD-BJP tenure. We are looking forward to see how you will earn this so called lost money for the State,” said the former minister and SAD spokesperson Daljit Singh Cheema.
“It is best you earn Rs 75 crore through outdoor advertising in the next three months to prove your point as per the break-up of Rs 600 crore promised annual earning announced by you,” said Cheema adding that if you cannot do that you better apologise to Punjabis for trying to befool them with false statements and cheap theatrics.
Cheema said it was because of “Akali phobia” that Sidhu was hell bent on reversing every positive step taken by the erstwhile SAD-BJP Government. “Sidhu has stopped the BRTS project which was undertaken to decongest Amritsar. The project has been scrapped by him despite the fact that 15 of the 93 buses purchased for the project had already started running.
