Chandigarh, Sep 26 (UNI) Ridiculing the public spectacle of the mutual blame-game between old allies SAD and BJP, who have been trading charges against each other over the controversial Farm Bills, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Saturday said the adamant refusal of the Akalis to quit the NDA coalition showed the extent of their greed and desperation to cling to power.
The fact that the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is holding on to the last vestige of power it continues to enjoy at the cost of Punjab and its farmers, despite being publicly humiliated by the alliance partner, the BJP, had exposed the Akali dual standards and total lack of concern for the farming community, Capt Amarinder said.
The Chief Minister was referring to BJP’s statement that it had left the task of convincing the famers on the Agriculture Bills to the Akalis.
