Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has flayed the Akalis, led by Sukhbir Singh Badal, for their attempts to take credit for various welfare and development initiatives of the Congress Government by trying to usurp them as their own.
In a statement, the Chief Minister came down heavily on Sukhbir Singh Badal for his false and malicious claims on various announcements made by the government as part of the Governor’s address at the start of the current Budget Session. While governance was an ongoing exercise in continuity and his government had no qualms in acknowledging or continuing with any worthwhile projects of the previous regime, the Akalis’ effort to take credit for all the good work of his government was yet another lie being perpetrated by them on the people of Punjab, said the CM. The Akalis would not be sitting in the Opposition had they really worked for the welfare of people during 10-year-rule, he quipped. The fact is that what had been done by them in the name of public welfare was actually just aimed at the welfare of one family, Captain Amarinder Singh said.
