Chandigarh, Jul 3 (UNI) Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Friday alleged that Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Badal and Union Minister Harsimrat Badal are misleading the people of the state to promote their petty political agenda in the midst of the Covid crisis.
Flaying the SAD president over his allegations of ration embezzlement by Congressmen in Punjab, Capt Amarinder asserted that the MLAs were supporting his government’s efforts to ensure that nobody goes hungry. The MLAs are close to the people and well placed to help out those in immediate or urgent need, which is what they have been doing, he said.
Pointing out that every Congressman in every part of the country was currently out helping people, as part of the party’s concerted efforts to reach out to the needy in this hour of crisis, the Chief Minister alleged the Akalis could not relate to this as they had never seen beyond their personal interests.
