Less than 52 days to go, Punjab CM still merely announcing projects: Majithia

Chandigarh, Sep 19 (UNI) Senior SAD leader and former Punjab Cabinet Minister S Bikram Singh Majithia said here on Thursday that Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh and his team’s photo-op trip to Dera Baba Nanak backfired, as instead of getting any state government contribution or project to highlight, the Chief Minister had to be content with getting clicked alongside the Government of India's on-going projects. “The people of Punjab would be amused by to see Chief Minister and his colleagues finally rubbing their eyes in half-sleep for a photoshoot standing by all the Government of India’s Rs 500 crore worth of infrastructure upgrade projects and logistics support initiatives in and around Dera Baba Nanak for the centre’s Kartarpur Sahib Corridor initiative.”
Mr Majithia , however, added that the CM and his government would do well to exhibit greater commitment, seriousness and solemnity during this august and historic phase.”This is the one time when governments and politicians can and should exhibit sobriety and solemnity and resist and rise above the petty temptation for cheap publicity or unseemly race for credit-taking, especially when it is undeserved. For SAD, we would appreciate any noble and meaningful steps which the state government might take as its contribution to the historic and sacred occasion. As of now, even the CM is finding it hard to put his finger on a single contribution of his government which he could be proud of,” said Mr Majithia.
The Akali leader said that even the CM seemed visibly disappointed by this trip and tried to make some last-minute but belated announcements to one of the most sacred and historic events in living history has so far been abysmal, amounting practically to zero. No Punjabi can feel proud of this,” said Mr Majithia in a statement here this afternoon.
