Zira (Ferozeur), January 18, 2017: Union minister and SAD leader Mrs. Harsimrat Badal lashed out at Aam Aadmin Party (AAP) leaders for fomenting communal disharmony and violence in peaceful Punjab and exhorted Punjabis to rise against their nefarious designs which aims to create chaos and anarchy in the state which has been put on rails of development for the last ten years and progressing fast.
Addressing a mammoth election rally here today, Ms. Harsimrat said that it was not just coincidence that the incidents of sacrilege started and increased with the emergence of AAP in post 2014 Lok Sabha polls period and there was sudden thaw in such acts following arrest of AAP legislator and his intense interrogation.
“Circumstantial evidence makes it clear who were behind such provocative sacrilegious acts which shook the communal harmony in the state and led to emergence of hardliners who are now hand in globe with AAP”, opined Ms Harsimrat, cautioning the people of Punjab to be vigilant against his Machiavellian conspiracies of the AAP leaders.
The SAD leader said that AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal has been changing his stance on Punjab river waters while moving from Punjab to Delhi via Haryana and in each state he takes a different position depending on his interest. He would speak one thing in Punjab, another in Haryana and would advocate for third in Delhi and would file entirely different affidavit through his government in Supreme Court.
“None, not his party men, would believe him as he changes his colours more frequently than chameleon,” she thundered saying each vote to AAP would be suicidal for Punjab.
Her attack on the Congress too was equally virulent. Ms Harsimarat said that those who are promising skies to people should be at least reminded of what the Congress had done for them from 2002 to 2007 when Amarinder Singh himself was the chief minister.
The Congress had brought the state to the brink of financial disaster and to bail out the state from dire fiscal straits, Amarinder’s government had stopped free power, welfare schemes were abandoned and there was total ban on recruitment amusingly by a man who is now promising jobs for all families, she added saying that he would repeat his standard practice once he is back to power.
She assured that Union government under Narender Modi has already sanctioned over Rs. 40,000 for the road infrastructure for Punjab and there won’t be any dearth of funds for development in future too. Unfortunately, all this may come to stand still as both Congress and AAP have adopted confrontationist approach with the Union government and would oppose even the union government at all cost sacrificing national interest.
