Amarinder set to impose Power bills on tubewells post poll : Sukhbir
Says Amarinder's 'Mission-13' has turned into 'Miss-on 13' as SAD BJP set to sweep polls
Ferozepur/Mudki April 30 - The Shiromani Akali Dal president Sardar Sukhbir Singh Badal said here today that Captain Amarinder Singh will impose power bills on farmers tube wells immediately after the the Lok Sabha elections.
" Dont trust him if he denies this even on oath because by now he has become quite used to swearing by the most sacred religious icons only to break those oaths," said The SAD president addressing a massive public rally in this historic town.
Earlier , Mr Badal paid obeisance and offered prayers at Gurdwara Shaheedan Sahib here.
Answering a media query on the outcome of poll in Punjab , Mr Badal quipped , " Amarinder's 'Mission-13' has already turned into a 'Miss-on 13' as SAD-BJP is all set to sweep these elections in the state. The Congress is up against people's wrath on broken promises and non-performance."
Mr Badal disclosed that his sources in officialdom have revealed to him that "free power to agriculture in Punjab will soon end as the Amarinder govt is all set to impose power bills on tube wells on the pretext of empty coffers. An elaborate plan has been prepared in this regard. "The former Deputy Chief Minister said that several other social welfare schemes introduced by the Parkash Singh Badal led govt are also likely to be stopped on the lame pretext of financial crunch. He reminded the people that several such schemes like pensions , Shagun and atta daal were already lying in limbo as there are huge back logs in all these schemes. After the Lok Sabha election , Amarinder govt will formally wind up these schemes.
Mr Badal however hastened to add that that the SAD BJP will launch a massive agitation against such anti - people decisions and " we will not sit idle till we have forced the govt to change its mind and honour these commitments to the people. "
Mr Badal said that under the NDA govt led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Sikhs have finally started getting justice and fair play. Mr Modi delivered justice to Sikhs by sending Sajjan Kumar to jail for inhuman massacre of Sikhs. Others like Jagdish Tytler too will have to atone for their sins when Modi resumes his tenure after the poll, said Mr Badal
