Khatkar Kalan/khadoor sahib : Taking Prime Minister Narendra Modi head-on over his “bhrashtachari No.1” remark against former PM Rajiv Gandhi, the Chief Minister said Modi had hit the nadir of pettiness in his desperation to stay in power. The CM said, “It is a tradition in our country not to mouth bad words against someone who is no more and especially someone who gets killed. But the power-hungry Modi has lost all sense of decency and proportion in his election campaign.”
Capt Amarinder held a public meeting in support of Congress candidates from Khadoor Sahib and Amritsar Jasbir Singh Dimpa and Gurjit Singh Aujla, respectively, at Jandiala.
He slammed Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal, accusing her of doing "nothing" for the state despite being a part of the Centre. "This Bibi (Harsimrat) failed to do anything for her own state despite being a part of the Union government," Amarinder Singh said, alleging that the BJP-led government at the Centre was not keen in the development of the state.
Amarinder Singh blamed the Centre for the shortage of gunny bags that led to slowing the lifting of wheat in mandis. "Our opponents have adopted a new trick to create problems for us. They have diverted gunny bags to Haryana, where their own party is in power," he alleged.
