Amritsar : A day after SAD, BJP leaders levelled serious allegations against each other, PPCC chief Partap Singh Bajwa today lashed out at the BJP saying if the party knew from where drugs were coming to the state then it should take some concrete action, instead of fooling the people. He also asked the SAD whether it would move the Lokpal or judiciary against Local Bodies Minister Anil Joshi.
Bajwa said Akali Dal leader Upkar Singh Sandhu had levelled charges of nepotism and corruption against Joshi; the SAD should now lodge a complaint against him with the Lokpal or in a court of law. "If they don't do it, they should tell the people what are their compulsions?" he said.
Similarly, the BJP should tell the people what their grouse was when it charged the SAD with patronising sand, land, liquor and cable mafia. "Is the BJP not getting its share in the pie?" he asked. The Akali Dal and the BJP had 70:30 share in the illegal trade in the state, he alleged.
He wondered how the two parties were continuing their alliance even after levelling serious allegations against each other. "The two parties know they will be wiped out in the 2017 Assembly poll. Therefore, the SAD is now toeing the Sikh agenda, while the BJP is addressing the Hindu agenda by roping in the RSS. They want to create a communal divide," he said.
