Sounding the poll bugle for the 2017 Assembly polls, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Thursday exhorted the people to make a firm pledge for forming the SAD-BJP alliance Government in the State for the third consecutive term to complete the ongoing development works in the State.
Addressing the gathering here on the political conference, the Chief Minister said that every Punjabi must vow to bring back the alliance to power so that the ongoing work of the State’s development could be accomplished. Badal said that due to the pro-people and development-oriented policies of the State Government, Punjab was on the zenith of development and peace.
Badal said that this could be sustained only and only if SAD-BJP alliance was voted to power for third time.
The Chief Minister said the Akali Dal party had relentlessly worked for safeguarding the interests of the state. He said that each and every worker of SAD was committed for the cause of state due to which they had even suffered many hardships. “Contrary to it the other political parties have harmed the interests of the state for their own motives” added Badal.
lashing at the Aam Aadmi Party, the Chief Minister said that that it was a ‘bunch of fugitives and rumour mongers’, who were trying to grab power in state by misleading Punjabis. Badal said that the leaders of AAP were basically braggers who were trying to divert the attention of people from basic issues. He said that though Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was not aware of basic topography of the state but he was dreaming to capture power in state by raising hollow slogans. “Kejriwal is totally unaware of rural life of state and he cannot even differentiate between the varieties of crop”, added Badal.
Terming state Congress Chief Captain Amarinder Singh as an ‘undisciplined soldier’, the Chief Minister said that despite of his claims that he had served the Army Captain has not learnt anything from highly disciplined force. He said an Army man never disobeys his seniors but Amarinder arm twisted the entire Congress high command to grab Captaincy of Congress.
