Patiala : Former Chief Minister and Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president Captain Amarinder Singh on Friday accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of lacking ‘long term vision’ and alleged AAP national convener had become chief minister only after making “non-implementable” promises to the people of Delhi. “Kejriwal has no long term vision and he makes promises that are short sighted and non-implementable. People in Punjab cannot have IAS officers who sit on dharnas. If elections happen today, Kejriwal will lose”, Amarinder said here during the last leg of ‘Coffee With Captain’ session with young students.
On Kejriwal’s “populist measures” in Delhi, the former Punjab chief minister alleged that Kejriwal had “fooled” people at every step of his public life. He said: “While Sheila Dikshit spent an average of Rs 26 crore for advertising during her three terms, Kejriwal has already spent Rs 500 crores.” On the issue of drug abuse, Amarinder assured the audience that the menace can be resolved within four weeks. “There are three dimensions to the drug problem - one which comes across the border. Two, the absence of any national drug policy in India because of which states like Madhya Pradesh can still produce drugs. And thirdly there are synthetic drugs which are very dangerous,” he said.
Referring to his outreach efforts with several big companies including Tropicana and Reliance industries, the Lok Sabha MP detailed the “failures” of the current establishment.
