Under Badals Punjab has seen total collapse of governance: Capt Amarinder

CHANDIGARH: Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Capt Amarinder Singh today said that under the Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, the state has seen total collapse of governance and the people are desperately looking for a way out.
“Whether it is the 1.40 lakh crores debt or 70 percent failures in government schools, it is all indicative of the systematic collapse of governance presided over by the Badals”, he said during the ‘Meet the Press’ programme organised by the Chandigarh Press Club here today.
“Right from the Chief Minister’s office to the level of the patwari and the SHO, the administration remains completely paralysed and this has become quite obvious everywhere”, he said, while disclosing that during his interaction with people across the state he had found that people were suffering from “lack of governance as there was nobody to listen even to their routine matters and problems”.
The PCC president said, under the current circumstances people were looking forward towards Congress to provide an efficient and effective government that will deliver positive results on both macro and micro levels. “The system has turned so much rotten that the police stations are not run by the SHOs, but by the Akali jatherdars and this needs to be corrected and cleansed”, he asserted.Expressing full confidence to form the government, Capt Amarinder said, the Aam Aadmi Party slide had already started. He said, the Akalis led by the Badals had no chance, so much so, they will find it difficult to go to the villages after code of conduct is imposed. “People have seen my government and they are now comparing my tenure with that of the Badals and choice is theirs”, he said in response to a question as what was his edge over others.
