CHANDIGARH, November 26: Senior Congress leaders today asked the Akalis to seek Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal’s resignation before raising a finger against Capt Amarinder, suggesting a poll to check how people of Punjab rate them.
“Let us go for a public referendum and see who do people of Punjab consider to be the most corrupt, Capt Amarinder or the Badals”, they challenged the Akali leaders, while pointing out how Badal from being an ordinary farmer had accumulated wealth worth billions of rupees which was totally unaccounted and disproportionate to his income.
In a joint statement senior party leaders and legislators Sukhjinder Randhawa, Rana Gurjeet Singh, Kewal Singh Dhillon, Rana KP Singh and Sukh Sarkaria while reacting to the Akali statement referring to the intranet case, they said, it had already been disposed off by the Punjab and Haryana High Court long before and the Akali government had not the guts to challenge it in the Supreme Court.
“If your government was so confident about the case why it did not challenge the HC verdict in the Supreme Court”, they asked, while adding, the Honourable HC had passed strictures against the Akali government on the intranet case saying, it was a case of pure political vendetta.
The Congress leaders said, Akalis were feeling frustrated over their declining popularity graph against the rising mass support for Congress and Capt Amarinder. They said, instead of asking Capt Amarinder to quit, they should better advise their leader Parkash Singh Badal to retire, as that would be in the interest of Punjab.
