Badals patronising mafia, ruining Punjab: AAP

“State was number one in the country prior to SAD-BJP rule”

July 24, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 07:49 am IST - LUDHIANA:

The Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday accused the SAD-BJP government of “ruining” Punjab by its “anti-people” policies and the Badals of indulging in corruption and patronising mafia in the State.

“The SAD-BJP government has totally ruined Punjab through corruption and foolish policies. The State was at number one in the country in almost all fields prior to SAD-BJP rule,” AAP’s national spokesperson and in-charge of Punjab affairs Sanjay Singh alleged.

Accusing the Badals of “rampant corruption” and “patronising” different mafia including drug, land, transport, sand and gravel, cable and recruitment, he claimed it made people’s life “miserable and the farmers are being forced to commit suicide”.

Addressing gathering at Sunder Nagar here, Mr Singh claimed that the Badals are “misleading people by spreading false propaganda” against AAP leaders.

On the allegations of lack of experience levelled by the Badals and Amarinder Singh against AAP, Mr Singh said, “The party has the art of smart governance, providing excellent health and education, reducing taxes, saving money from projects which AAP government has proved in Delhi.”

He also accused the political opponents of “pursuing dynastic politics” and claimed that AAP under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal is committed to “completely wipe out” this practice.

Meanwhile, at Ambala in Haryana, the Aam Aadmi Party workers took to the streets to protest against the alleged non-fulfilment of the promises made by BJP before the 2014 Assembly elections in Haryana.

Naveen Jaihind, president of APP state unit, accused the Khattar-led government of not “fulfilling” promises it had made in its election manifesto.

He alleged that patients are not getting sufficient medical facilities in civil hospitals as the shortage of doctors and paramedical staff badly affecting the services.

Mr Jaihind said the government had committed to provide unemployment allowance to unemployed youths but even after two years, none of the unemployed youths “received” any allowance in the state.

He said AAP would organise rallies throughout the state to expose the government.
