Sukhbir insisted that corruption in the state was at an all-time high. “Punjabis were angry that even after ensuring the victory of 92 AAP candidates, the promises made to them have not been fulfilled,” the SAD chief said at a function here to announce youth leader Zahida Suleman as the party’s Malerkotla constituency in-charge.

He slammed chief minister Bhagwant Mann for complete failure in controlling the rising crime graph. “There is a sense of fear among everyone in the state as miscreants are having a field day. Extortions, kidnappings, snatchings and killings have made the life of a common man a hell. Even industrialists are leaving the state as they are fed up by the culture of extortion,” Sukhbir said.
