Jalandhar : Former Chief Minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal today flayed SAD-BJP government for dishing out “false promises” to the people and termed the new atta-dal scheme as a “sham”.
Bhattal was addressing a meeting of Congress workers under PPCC president Partap Singh Bajwa’s mass contact programme at Sultanpur Lodhi. The meeting was organised by MLA Navtej Singh Cheema.
Bhattal alleged the government had wasted crores of rupees on the publicity of the scheme and had “misled the poor”. “The new scheme is an adoption of the food security progamme of the UPA government, which is giving subsidy on both wheat and dal,” she said, adding that beneficiaries of the scheme had not been given any commodity for the last over one year.
“Not even a single promise made by the SAD and the BJP during elections has been fulfilled,” Bhattal said.
