Chandigarh : Senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal has asked the state residents not to rejoice at the claims of the SAD-BJP government of getting funds worth thousands of crores from the Centre. She said Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had still not agreed to provide the much-needed financial package to the state.

Commenting on projects announced by Union Minister for Urban Development Venkaiah Naidu in Amritsar yesterday, Bhattal said the Finance Minister had rejected Punjab’s request for the special financial package twice.

In a statement, Bhattal said announcing projects was one thing, bailing out Punjab with financial aid was another. She criticised Badal for not putting enough pressure on its alliance partner to get financial help.
