Implement schemes in Delhi first before making promises in Punjab: Majithia to Kejri
Kejriwal had done nothing in Delhi till now except propaganda, said Majithia, adding that “even the 200 units of power offered free of cost to citizens of Delhi are not utilised because the scheme has a clause that the entire amount will be charged if the consumption increases by even one unit above 200
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia on Thursday asked Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to first implement the promises he was making to the people of Punjab, including granting allowance of ₹1,000 per month to women as well as free power supply of 300 units per bill cycle, in Delhi if he was really sincere about keeping his word.
“Kejriwal portrays to have a solution to every problem of other states, but he has no solution of problems of Delhi. He is promising to regularise contractual employees in Punjab, but why he is not making such employees regular in Delhi?” saked Majithia, who was here to campaign for Shutrana candidate Vaninder Kaur Loomba.
Kejriwal had done nothing in Delhi till now except propaganda, he said, adding that “even the 200 units of power offered free of cost to citizens of Delhi are not utilised because the scheme has a clause that the entire amount will be charged if the consumption increases by even one unit above 200.”
Majithia also asked state Congress president Navjot Sidhu to tell why he had failed to take up his challenge and appear in court in the drug case. “I had challenged him but he preferred to run away. I again challenge him to announce Charanjit Singh Channi as the party’s chief ministerial candidate if the former is doing such a good job,” he said.
The SAD leader said chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi was trying to escape the responsibility for the abject failures of the Congress government by blaming former chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh for it. “The fact is that Channi was part of the team which swore on the Gutka Sahib along with Capt Amarinder. Channi has been a cabinet minister all along,” the SAD leader said.
