Badal lambasts AAP, ignores BJP double speak on SYL Canal issue in SC

CHANDIGARH Punjab Chief Minister Mr Parkash Singh Badal today described the Delhi’s Kejrival-led Delhi Government’s stand against Punjab on the SYL issue in the Supreme Court as “ a stab in the back of all Punjabis on an issue of life and death for Punjabis, especially our farmers. He however ignored the anti-Punjab stand taken by BJP governments in Haryana and at center.
In a statement Badal said, “The AAP has miserably failed and stands fully exposed in its very first test of loyalty to the state, especially to our toiling farmers. . This is the height of political opportunism and broad daylight falsehood. I am sad this has come at the expense of the beleaguered farming peasantry of my state,” said the Chief Minister., adding, “I do not know how Mr Kejrival will now come and face the people of Punjab after playing this fraud on them.”
Badal has singled out AAP apparently apprehending major threat from AAP during the 2017 assembly elections whereas BJP being partner in power with Akalis has filed petiton against Punjab in the Supreme Court. Badal is making all out efforts to blame AAP for the ills which were created by his own party and the ruling partner BJP. BJP is taking different stand in Punjab and different in Haryana but it is not an issue with the SAD.
Labeling AAP leaders outsiderts, Badal said, “The saga of outsiders coming to Punjab to offer fake sympathies and then going back to betray the state within hours and leave its people bleeding continues. Does it behove a Chief Minister to indulge in such an act of deceit against the poor, innocent and trusting farmers?’ “ MrBadal asked, adding, “ People have been talking about Mr.Kejrival ‘s politics of falsehood and opportunism. But he should have spared the brave and patriotic farmers who are already facing such hardships because farming has become a non-lucrative profession,” said Mr Badal in a statement here. “How shocking that Mr Kejrival and his Aam Admi party (AAP) had been befooling the farmers of Punjab by visiting and offering crocodile tears to the tragedy-stricken families here only to take a brazenly treacherous stand against the same farmers in the Supreme Court. In Punjab, MrKejrval said that Punjab alone had an exclusive right over the Ravi-Beas waters and that he and his party were opposed to the construction of the SYL. But no sooner did he leave the sate than he went back on his word and declared that Ravi Beas waters belonged to Haryana, Himachal, J and K and Delhi and that Punjab did not not have any exclusive right over these waters.
