Failing on economy, law and order, Badal has fallen back on Panthic agenda: Capt Amarinder

MUKTSAR : Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha Capt Amarinder Singh today said that the Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal after having completely failed on the economic and law and order front has now fallen back on panthic agenda. “The choice is between the economic progress and development on one side and the panthic agenda on the other”, Capt Amarinder said while addressing a well attended workers meeting here today.The former Chief Minister challenged Mr Badal to list one single achievement he could claim the credit for. “Be it the wheat procurement, he (Mr Badal) has failed. Be it law and order, he has failed. Be it economy, he has failed. Be it industry, he has failed. Be it agriculture, he has failed”, he said while listing Mr Badal’s failures and advising him that he should better retire as he had lost the power to think. He said, the only thing he had succeeded at was amassing personal wealth and fortune.The Congress leader asked as what happened to Rs 2200 crores provided by the government of India for water logging in the area. “Where did that money go?” he asked, saying it must have been diverted to somewhere else to fascinate Mr Badal’s whims and fancies like Sangat Darshan.He said, similarly there is no trace of Rs 14640 crores cash credit limit sanctioned and released by the Reserve Bank of India for the procurement of wheat. “The amount was sanctioned on April 1 and the farmers are yet to get the payment although 46 days have already passed”, he revealed, while recalling that during his (Capt Amarinder’s) Chief Ministership the farmers would get the payment for their crops within 24 hours.
