Addressing a series of public rallies in Shukrachak and Vishambarpura villages in Attari assembly segment here, he urged people to ask Badal what was his contribution towards Punjab. “From day one he has practised the politics of deceit and fraud and betrayal and backstabbed all those who supported and stood by him”, he said, while pointing out, how he let down senior party colleagues and leaders. “He just can’t look beyond his own family”, he remarked.

He asked the farmers to compare Badal’s regime with his own between 2002 and 2007 and decide for themselves who was better for them. “When was it that you got regular free power for eight hours for your tubewells and when was it that your crops were lifted within 24 hours from mandis?” he asked, while pointing out how much they had to suffer under the Akalis when they don’t get even get two hours of power supply and how they have to wait in mandis to sell their crops.

The former chief minister also warned Cabinet Minister Bikram Majithia asking him to desist from his arm-twisting and intimidating tactics. He said, the time is not far away when law would catch up with him for his involvement in drugs case.
