Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
Chandigarh January 15 – The Shiromani Akali Dal today asserted that its path to winning a third back-to-back tenure to serve the people of Punjab had been rendered easier by the developments on Maghi day this year, “which have exposed the Congress and the AAP, as parties with habitual and brazen liars and oath-breakers, Arvind Kejrival and Manpreet Singh Badal, in their ranks .”
“By a strange irony of history, both our opponents Manpreet
and Kejrival in their unabashed lust for power have broken sacred
oaths on not having any trucks with the mother of all corruption, the
Congress. While Manpreet disgraced the name of Shaheed-e-Azam Sardar Bhagat Singh by taking a false oath in the martyrs’s name at Khatkar Kalaan 2011 , Kejrival did not desist even from using, abusing and misusing his own innocent children in naked lust for power. This is the quality of opposition the SAD-BJP faces in 2017 elections,” said the SAD General Secretary Harcharan Singh Bains in a statement here this afternoon.
Mr Bains said that Kejrival was the only politician in the country who swore falsely by his innocent children that he would never have an alliance with the Congress but broke that oath within less than a month and formed the first AAP government in Delhi with the Congress support ,” said the SAD General Secretary .
Similarly, said Mr Bains, Manpreet abused the Congress all 20 years of his public life. But when his personal interests required it, he
first allied with it to contest from Bathinda and has now gone one
step further completely merged with it. The merger , said mr Bains,
merely formalized what had always been known to the people of Punjab but had been denied by both the PPP and the Congress: that Manpreet had quit his party as a part of the Congress conspiracy to split SAD and bring down the state government.
Describing Arvinder Kejrival as a “windbag high on fake ideology
gas” Mr Bains said that the AAP Convener was “in the habit of lying
through his teeth day and night and never tired of preaching
principles of simplicity to others. But for his own salary and perks,
he put himself above even the Prime Minister of India and
justified it, incredibly, by invoking the US President Barrack
Obama’s example. “Kejrival shocked everyone by declaring that his
salary should be large enough to make Barrack Obama feel embarrassed
in front of him.” The AAP-majority in Delhi assembly has repeatedly
voted high salaries and perks to legislators and ministers while
denying even normal salaries to the state government employees. In
Punjab, it is just the opposite. Punjab employees are the highest paid
in the country while legislators and ministers here remain among the
lowest paid,“ said Mr Bains
Similarly, Kejrival had vehemently criticised Shiela Dixit for her
“palatial bungalow as Chief Minister, saying that a mere two
bed-room flat was good enough for a people’s CM. But for himself,
he fought like a school-kid demanding a much larger house than Shiela Dixit’s, and threatened to sit in Dharna until he got it. Similarly,
he used to oppose VIP security but once in power, he and every
member of his government travel with massive security. He spoke about cutting the size of the council of ministers to reduce expenditure, but now every AAP MLA enjoys cabinet berth either as a minister or a Chief Parliamentary Secretary (CPS) or as chairman or director, said Mr Bains.
“And these hypocrites have the cheek to descend on Punjab and preach high principles like sacrifices to hard working Punjabis while they themselves continue to live in luxurious lifestyles in designer
clothes, driving luxury cars bought and run with people’s money.
Punjabis will teach them a lesson in 2017 ,” said Mr Bains.
