Chandigarh, March 20
SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Tuesday said Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh is scared of the wrath of the farmers as he had failed to keep the promises made to them.
He was addressing a protest rally organised by the SAD-BJP against the Congress government over its alleged failure to implement the farm loan waiver and its alleged efforts to stop subsidised power to the agricultural sector.
Sukhbir said all social security pensions besides the insurance scheme for farmers has been stopped; and now efforts were on to start charging them for power used in the agricultural sector.
Sukhbir accused Amarinder of being inaccessible to people and succumbing to coteries.
He said Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal would have been jailed had he not tendered an apology to Bikram Majithia for levelling false charges against him.
He alleged that the Congress government had been unable to manage finances. He took a dig at the CM and Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal for “crying” continuously about the “state treasury being empty”.
The protesting leaders later marched towards the Punjab Assembly and were stopped by police from doing so.
