Patiala, With the Union Government filing an affidavit in the Supreme Court “favoring an early completion of the SYL canal”, the Aam Aadmi Party has accused the ruling Badal family of adopting double standards on the issue.
Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann said while senior Badal had been saying that the state had “not a drop to share”, his daughter-in-law and Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur stood party to the Modi government’s stand against the state.
Mann said Harsimrat should have stood up against the NDA’s affidavit in the SC favouring the contruction of the SYL canal if the Badals were serious on protecting the state’s interests.
The issue recently came to fore after the Supreme Court accepted a petition by the state government for an early hearing on the issue, on which Presidential Reference was pending before the five-member Bench.
During his visit to the city today, Mann welcomed Hari Singh Tohra, president, Punjab State Karamchari Dal, and his supporters, into the party fold.
