Capt Amarinder backtracking on creating employment: Harsimrat

Chandigarh, Jan 22 (UNI) Union Food Processing Industry Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Monday said after reneging on his promise to farmers, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh was backtracking on creating employment by refusing to consider the genuine demand to reopen the Bathinda thermal plant.
In a statement here, the Union minister said instead of fulfilling his 'ghar ghar naukari' scheme, Capt Amarinder had taken away the livelihood of thousands of people of Bathinda by shutting down the Bathinda thermal plant. “Instead of understanding the plight of thousands of workers and their families as well as other people from all walks of life who are associated with the thermal plant, the CM was following a dictatorial attitude by stating that the decision will not be reversed”, she added.
Stating that it was the will of the people which was supreme in any democracy and not that of any ‘Maharaja’, the Bathinda MP said it was shocking that an elected government was adopting this stance with its own people. “The Bathinda thermal plant is a full-fledged township with its own residential colony, market and school. The government is uprooting all these people living in the township and sending them to far off places without making any provision for a rehabilitation package for them. This is an injustice which will not be tolerated”, Ms Badal said.
