Badal lambasts Amarinder Govt. in Vidhan Sabha
CHANDIGARH: Shiromani Akali Dal president and Leader of the Opposition Parkash Singh Badal declared Wednesday that the Amarinder government in Punjab was all set to sink under the weight of its shocking insensitivity, total inaccessibility, rampant corruption and utter lawlessness. €Not even its misleading Mega Publicity Campaign can save it now,€ said Mr. Badal, leading an inspired Opposition charge on the government in the debate on the motion of thanks for Governor's address in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha.
The tenure of the Punjab Chief Minster Captain Amarinder Singh, he said, would be remembered as the €darkest phase in the history of Punjab in which the energetic and rugged people of Punjab were forced to regard self-immolation as a better option to living under this utterly irresponsive, corrupt and inaccessible government. This is its shameful and only achievement.'
€This government was born of a mega fraud, survived on mega boasts and is ready to die of mega corruption and mega betrayal. It went back on all its promises in its manifesto, totally neglected development and worked only for the promotion and prosperity of a select few,€ €This government now stands on the brink of sinking
{mosgoogle right}The Akali leader dismissed as €election year balloons€ the series of announcements being made by the Chief Minister for various segments. In this regard, he referred to the C.M.'s announcements on trade and industry and Dalits after the Akali rallies in Bathinda and Kartarpur. This, he said, was done only under relentless opposition pressure and that too merely as a fraudulent political gimmick. The C.M. went back on his promises on Octroi abolition, VAT and other demands of the urban trade and industry. Similarly, he betrayed the Dalits on Shagun, pension and domestic power schemes. But now, with elections round the corner, he had suddenly woken up to make new promises to these sections. €But the Congress knows that after the elections, it will not even be there to implement its promises. Therefore, it is indulging in promises of indiscriminate bounty in order to befool the people into forgetting more than four years of cruel neglect. This is bound to boom-rang on them,€ said the Akali president.
Turning to the sensational €benami terrorists€ issue, Mr. Badal described it as €potentially explosive€. He said that the case had given further credence to the Akali charge that Amarinder-Virk nexus maintained a private army of police cats to be used against the Akalis in the forthcoming elections. said that it was amazing that the statements of the Chief Minister on the Sukhwinder Singh Sukhi case were at complete variance with those of the his DGP, S.S.Virk. While Virk maintained that an unidentified dead body had been cremated giving it Sukhi's identity, the C.M. claimed that no one was cremated and that the police had merely sprinkled mashed tomatoes on Sukhi's body to enact a death in encounter. €CM talks straight out of children's fiction and it is clear that he had not even checked with his DGP about the former's stand. All this showed what massive lying the C.M. was capable of.€ Mr. Badal described the episode as extremely shocking and said that this could well spell disaster for peace in the state in the days to come.
Mr. Badal took pot shots at the Chief Minister's personal style of functioning, blasting him for turning inaccessibility and a leisure and pleasure culture into a state policy. Describing Amarinder as €the most inaccessible Chief Minister in the history of the country€, Mr. Badal wondered why he was not available to his ministers, legislators and senior officers, or even to the Prime Minster of the country. There have been instances when he was inaccessible to his principal secretary and even to his security staff. Only God or the C.M. can tell why and where he disappears?€ said Mr. Badal, adding that thanks to this style, all round rural and urban development and law and order had been completely neglected.
