Chandigarh: State Congress chief Captain Amarinder Singh on Sunday said AAP’s industry manifesto was a “theatrical gimmick” which “lacked substance” and “was silent on several key issues”.
“Bereft of any real understanding of issues facing the state’s industry, Arvind Kejriwal has simply picked some of the promises made by the Punjab Congress,” he commented on the manifesto released by AAP on Sunday in Ludhiana. The manifesto has ignored certain vital issues of the industry that has hit a all-time low in the Badal regime, he claimed.
“From reduction in power tariff to VAT reduction. Simplification, revival of sick units, new industrial township in Ropar and promises to end ‘Mafia Raj’, Kejriwal has simply picked up these points and packaged them in his industry manifesto,” he said.
Even the promise to end power purchase agreements with private players is one of our old commitment, he added.
“One needs intelligence to even copy well. Kejriwal in a hurry to ape the Congress has forgotten to mention some key issues, like of small-scale industrial units that the Badal government has decided to shift out,” he alleged.
