Badal was addressing rallies in Ludhiana and Fatehgarh Sahib constituencies. Mr Darbara Singh Guru is the SAD BJP candidate from Fatehgarh sahib Mr Badal said that the Amarinder govt has failed in every sphere of governance. It had completely duped the electorate in the state in the run up to the assembly poll taking a false oath in the name of sacred charan of Guru Gobind Singh ji," said Mr Sukhbir Singh Badal here addressing massive SAD BJP rallies today .
Mr Badal came down heavily on on the state government saying that every strata of the society in Punjab was suffering due to the callous approach of the Congress government. “ The chief Minister is in a mind set of a Maharaja and not an elected CM, capt is regrettably in pre 1947 era mentally" said Mr Badal.
He said that All the pro people and welfare schemes started by SAD BJP govt like pensions, shagun scheme, the scholarships for Dalit students , free power of 200 units to backward classes , free distribution of school uniforms, free cycles to school girls had been stopped by the present govt. the govt has.cheated the farmers on total loan waiver, the youth in jobs and unemployment allowance and mobiles, and Dalits on the promised hike in Shagun amount from Rs 15000 to Rs 51000 and 200 units of power. The farmers suicides have gone up alarmingly. The poor dalit students in thick of winter were denied uniforms. Contractual teachers who received Rs 40000 pm were told to accept Rs 15000 or get lost. They were mercilessly lathi charged when they protested in front of the Palace of Capt Amarinder Singh. Schools for Meritorious have been shut down while the wards of half the cabinet of Congress study abroad. The poor children of the state are not even getting an opportunity to decent education as nearly 800 govt schools and most Adarsh schools as well as free schools for the poor but meritorious students have been shut down.
Badal said that as an agriculture state, it is Punjab's misfortune that farmers are committing suicides due to debts," said the SAD president .
Mr Badal said that empty coffers was a lame excuse and a cover up for non performance as the govt had not only hiked all taxes but even stopped welfare and development activity in the state. The SAD President reminded the people that during the SAD -BJP regime “ we never made excuses of empty coffers and always came to the rescue of the farmers, dalits , employees and always strove to work for all round development.”
The state in the last two years has been governed by compete disinterest as DA instalments have not been paid to employee nor had the Pay Commission been set up .
He said that In the last two years, no major projects have come to the state . Development activity has come to a standstill. No vacancies are being filled in Govt. Deptts. as there is a virtual ban on recruitment despite Cong promise of one job in every household.
