Amritsar, June 18, 2018: Terming the Congress claim of winning over leaders from other parties as a drama, Akali MLA Bikram Singh Majithia today dubbed the Congress rally at Majitha as a 'flop show'.
Many of the senior leaders of the party stayed away from the function in Majitha which was presided over by Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar.
Majithia alleged that the local Congress leaders were not only trying to befool the public but even their own party president and other senior leadership by resorting to gimmick inducting some leaders into the Congress who are already in Congress and supported the Congress during the last February 2017 assembly elections.
The Akali leader said that the Congress had come into power by making huge false promises and has failed to meet the expectations of the people and Punjab.
He said the electricity rates have increased by 20 % for domestic supply in the last one year. "Where is the promise of Rs.5 per unit power for the industry," he asked.
Majiothia suggested that the fuel prices can come down if state government brings down the VAT tariff. He also flayed the Congress government for its failure to waive the total Rs 90,000 crore outstanding loans against the Punjab farmers.
He said instead of taking up the development agenda, the Congress has stopped the various social welfare schemes initiated by previous SAD-BJP government in the state which include Shagan Schemes and Pension Schemes. The unemployment is on rise, industry is closing down and business and trade is on standstill while the Congress is unleashing a false propaganda like today’s show as they have nothing concrete to show to the public.
He said the Congress leaders are in the habit of playing tactics as the so called leaders like Swaranjit Singh Kuralian and Ganga Singh etc who claimed to have joined Congress today are already in Congress. He presented before the media the photographs when they had been attending various Congress programs and party functions in the past.
