Addressing a Punjab Bachao rally here today, Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee chief Capt Amarinder Singh today called upon the people to remove the SAD-BJP government from power.
Attacking the SAD leadership, he said the Akali party had been reduced to a tool in the hands of the Badals for their own benefit.
“The Akalis are bent upon bleeding Punjab. Our priority is our youth. We will strive to get employment for them. Why should they go to other states for education and employment,” asked Capt Amarinder Singh.
He said the Akalis had created such a bad business environment that nobody was prepared to invest in the state and those already with business interests here were either moving out or setting units in other states.
“We are losing our qualified and trained manpower to other states”, he pointed, emphasising that not only unemployment and drug addiction, but brain-drain too was a major cause of worry.
“We will bridge the widening gap between the rich and the poor for Punjab’s uniform growth,” Amarinder said.
Party affairs incharge Gulchain Singh Charak claimed that the people were attending Congress rallies in thousands but had shunned the BJP leader LK Advani’s rath yatra. This was indicative of things to come.
