Capt Amarinder a liability for Punjab, people will teach him, BJP a lesson: minister Warring
Punjab transport minister Amrinder Singh Raja Warring accuses ex-CM Capt Amarinder of a “criminal collusion with the Badals to ruin the state”
Punjab transport minister Amrinder Singh Raja Warring on Wednesday said that former chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh was liability for the state and that people will teach both him and the BJP a lifetime lesson in the upcoming assembly polls.
Interacting with party workers and the general public during the first session of the ‘Khuli charcha Warring de naal’ in Patiala, the minister accused Amarinder of a “criminal collusion with the Badals to ruin the state”.
The public interaction programme is the first of the ministers’ series planned by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) ahead of the 2022 polls.
“Precious four-and-a-half years were lost due to the then CM Amarinder’s illegal pact with Parkash Singh Badal and his son Sukhbir,” Warring claimed.
Lambasting the Badals for allegedly looting Punjab by spearheading different mafias, he said that he was not afraid of anyone, especially when it came to taking on those who played with the state’s future by eating up its resources through tax evasions. “The Badals first murdered the soul of Punjab’s agriculture and then shamelessly started claiming to be their saviour,” he said.
Reposing faith in what he termed as “pathbreaking policy initiatives” of the Charanjit Singh Channi-led government, Warring said that people of Punjab had seen what could be achieved with true political intent and they have made their minds to re-elect the Congress in 2022 with a thumping majority.
Slamming Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, Warring said the Aam Aadmi Party leader’s “shocking double standards” on the farmers’ issues have exposed him. “Punjabis will never forgive Kejriwal for backstabbing our farmers by passing one of these three black laws in the Delhi assembly,” he said.
