CHANDIGARH :Punjab chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh, on Sunday, scoffed at Harsimrat Kaur Badal’s allegations that the Congress government in the state was disrupting her poll rallies. He said it was the ‘wrath of the people’ against the misery that SAD doled out to them over 10 years.
The fact that Harsimrat was prevented from entering a village in her own constituency only showed that Karma was catching up fast with the Badals, who had made the people of Punjab shed tears of blood during their decadelong misrule, he added.
Trashing Harsimrat’s charges of misuse of official machinery by Congressgovernmenttosabotage her campaign, Amarinder said the Akalis had sabotaged their own prospects with their misdeeds.
“Harsimrat had failed to do anything for any section of Punjab’s people even as union minister in the Modi cabinet, which people of Bathinda could see,” said the CM.
The anger of the farmers was justified, he said, considering that despite Harsimrat being part of the Modi government, and SAD being an ally of the BJP, nothing had been done for the farming community all these years.
