Phagwara : Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Capt Amarinder Singh today asked Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal not to rest on his laurels over the state Governor being reappointed the Chandigarh Administrator, instead he should assert state’s complete claim on Chandigarh
Talking to mediapersons on the sidelines of the “Halqe Vich Captain” programme, he said, “The way Badal is reacting over the Central Government’s decision to reverse the appointment of a separate Administrator hints that he has forgotten that Chandigarh actually belongs to Punjab.”
Asked to comment on Badal’s statement that the 2017 elections would be the fought between pro and anti-Punjab forces, he said, “There cannot be a bigger enemy of Punjab than the Badals.” The way the Badals have looted and robbed the state for 10 years makes them eligible for the “enemy number one of Punjab” title.
He asked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to clarify on the charges of his NGO “Parivartan” being funded by the Ford Foundation and the CIA. He said AAP’s graph had taken a dip with senior leaders revealing how they were asked to pay Rs 50 lakh for the party ticket.
About estranged BJP leader Navjot Singh Sidhu’s possibility of joining the Congress, he said he was always welcome. “Sidhu has the Congress DNA in him and he will always be better off in the Congress than any other party,” he said.
About the list of party candidates for the forthcoming elections, he said the PPCC would finalise its recommendations in the next 10 days after which the party high command would take the final call.
During an interaction with party workers, he said if voted to power, the Congress would provide five-marla plots to the homeless and eradicate the scourge of drugs within four weeks.
