Chandigarh, January 18 : Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal President Shiromani Akali Dal and candidate for Jalalabad constituency today offered to take PPCC Chief Amarinder Singh and his entourage to conducted tour of Punjab to showcase the development works accomplished by SAD-BJP government during last five years as Amarinder was oblivious of development activity, being busy touring Dubai and other countries along with his ‘friends’.
In a statement issued here, Mr. Badal said that Amarinder was always airborne on helicopter and never moved on road to even address the rallies of Congress candidates. Capt should move out of his Moti Mehal by road to witness the development of the state. He said that during his term as Chief Minister he became a ‘visiting Chief Minister’ and paid hurried monthly visits to fulfil his visa obligations and during last five years he enjoyed the warm whether in his Dubai villa along with his ‘friends’. He said that it was matter of great shame that a Former Chief Minister aiming for another term does not know even the names of towns of Punjab.
Offering to take media along with this conducted tour, Mr. Badal said that he would offer to start the conducted tour from Moti Mahal Patiala and move according to the tour plan laid out by PPCC Chief according to his own choice. He said that only a blind person can proclaim that no work on thermal plants has started but according to him they would produce electricity within six months. He said that Rs. 20 thousand crore Bathinda refinery working on full throttle, giving employment to 37 thousand Punjab youth, was not visible to Amarinder Singh. He said that only a blind can say that 154 Fard Kendras have not computerised the more than 2 crore land records of Punjab. He said that only Amarinder can say that Rs. 6989 crore have not been spent on road infrastructure of the state.
Regretting Amarinder terming loyal Congress leaders as saleable commodities, Mr. Badal said that Mahatama Gandhi must be turning in his graves on Former Congress Chief Minister terming his former MLAs and Ministers as ‘Bekau Mall”. He advised that don’t denigrate your leaders who are raising fingers on you for accepting 4 to 7 crores for each ticket and ignoring loyal Congress workers for money bags.
Reiterating alliance agenda of seeking votes on the account of development initiatives of SAD-BJP government, Mr. Badal said that a repeat mandate was must to continue the pace of development of the state. He said that if people of Bihar were wise enough to repeat the mandate for NDA government, same was expected from wise electorate of Punjab. He regretted the negative campaign launched by Congress party with a focus theme that no development has taken place during last five years and said that Amarinder cannot be blamed for this blind approach as he remained away from state for last10 years.
