FARIDKOT : Terming Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal and his Delhi counterpart and Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal “two sides of the same coin”, Punjab Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh on Tuesday alleged they were involved in politics based on vested interests.

“Badal wants to promote interests of his family, and Kejriwal wants to become the Prime Minister by befooling people,” said the Congress CM nominee during a rally in Faridkot.
Slamming Kejriwal for being indecisive, he said: “First he challenged me to fight against Badal, and now that I am contesting the elections from Lambi, he is saying I will help Akalis by dividing anti-Badal votes.”
The former CM said he had given the people of Lambi a fresh choice. “By winning from Lambi, I will teach a lesson to both Badal and Kejriwal,” he said.
‘FREE TREATMENT FOR CANCER PATIENTS’
The Punjab Congress chief addressed rallies in Faridkot and Jaitu, which lie in the “cancer belt” of the state. Promising permanent solution to the problem of cancer-causing pollution in Malwa belt, Capt announced free treatment for cancer patients in Punjab, if voted to power.
Flanked by Congress candidate Kushaldeep Singh Dhillon at Faridkot, Capt said people in the region were suffering “double whammy” of losing their loved ones to cancer and having to struggle to meet the huge expenses of treatment.
