On Friday, Chhotepur had alleged that AAP’s Delhi leadership was anti-Sikh. Karimpuri alleged that Congress, too, was anti-Sikh. He said chief minister Parkash Singh Badal has ruined the Sikh religion by politicising the religious bodies.

He said in the last nine years, the Badal-led government had done nothing for the welfare of the people. He said the Badal family has captured key businesses, including transport, cable and mining.

“Students are not able to get benefits of the post-matric scholarship scheme and the government schools are in a pathetic condition,” Karimpuri said.
