Former CM and PCC chief Capt Amarinder Singh today advised Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal to retire from politics, saying that “a man who cannot remember his age cannot be expected to do any good to Punjab”.
Addressing a rally in support of Congress candidate Harminder Singh Gill here, he said though the people of Punjab had made him Chief Minister four times, he did not have a single achievement to his credit. Instead of working for the state’s development, he had been holding Sangat Darshan, wasting precious money which could have been used as matching grants for various centrally sponsored schemes.
He announced that on coming to power, the Congress would set up a commission of inquiry to look into every case of vendetta against Congress workers. He lashed out at the SAD-BJP government for “having let loose a reign of terror on Congress workers and indulging in corruption”. He alleged the Akalis “did not spare anything, ranging from sand mining to cable business.”
Talking to mediapersons, he said the Congress had succeeded in reining in the rebels and the party was now in a position to win 70 plus seats.
Patti Municipal Council chief Jasbir Singh Shaheed and a number of sarpanches and joined the Congress on the occasion. Capt Amarinder also addressed a rally in the border village of Amarkot in support of party candidate from Khemkaran Gurchet Singh Bhullar.
