Uber Cup badminton: India’s young women’s squad beats Canada 4-1
Batala, Congress candidate Sunil Jakhar today accused the Badals of running the government as a personal fiefdom during their decade-long rule.
At a meeting with representatives of the Anaj Mandi Arhtiya Association here, the PPCC president said the Badals were never interested in the welfare of the state and had spent those 10 years promoting their business interests.
Blaming the “ill-conceived” policies of the previous rulers for the agrarian crisis and the spate of farmer suicides, Jakhar said the Badal government had siphoned off Rs 3,200 crore to cover up their frauds. The cash-strapped state government was now paying interest on the loan taken against this amount, and would eventually have to pay Rs 7,000 crore to the Centre, he added.
Dubbing Modi Sarkar as a government of industrialists and business houses, the PPCC chief said despite the declining global fuel prices, the rates of petrol and diesel were going through the roof in India.
