New Delhi : Punjab Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh today dared the Badals to swap their properties with his and accused them of being the “real Maharajas” of the day.
Amarinder alleged that the Badals had amassed assets and properties worth crores of rupees during the past 10 years, allegedly built with public money, which they had procured by “plundering and looting the state”.
“I had offered to swap my properties with yours several years ago, and I am more than willing to do it now,” he said, observing that the assets of the Badals had expanded to unimaginable proportions in the past decade.
Reacting to Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal’s latest personal attack on his “royal roots”, Amarinder said his small inherited legacy was no match for the Badals’ empire.
“From their personal residential properties to multi-crore businesses in hospitality, transport, media, etc., the Badals’ assets defy even my royal imagination,” said Amarinder.
Meanwhile, former Akali leader Kamaljit Singh Karwal, a close associate of the Bains brothers, met Amarinder here and expressed his desire to join the party along with his supporters. He is an independent councillor from Ludhiana.
