Unlike the erstwhile SAD-BJP government, which he said stopped all projects initiated during the Congress rule, his government will continue to support all ongoing projects for welfare of people, said Capt.

Capt, however, reiterated his government’s resolve to review all decisions taken by the previous government in its last six months and to set up a commission to probe all false cases registered by Akalis against innocent people. Ruling out setting up of a commission to investigate corruption cases, he said inquiry will be instituted on any complaint received by his government in this regard.
