Chandigarh : Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha Capt Amarinder Singh today said the Badals' alliance with the Indian National Lok Dal in Haryana, while sharing power with the BJP in Punjab, was tantamount to political perversion. It exposed their dual character that hardly had any parallels in the history and politics of the country, he said.
Reacting to Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal's assertion that the INLD and Akalis would form the government in Haryana, Amarinder dared them to clarify their stand on various interstate issues with Haryana, like the transfer of Chandigarh and the sharing of river water before leading the INLD-SAD campaign there.
Badals' decision to align with the INLD in Haryana was their personal decision as they had not taken their party into confidence over it, he said. "The Badals owe an explanation to the people of Punjab as to how they can be the alliance partners of a party in Punjab while opposing the same in Haryana," he said.
