Congress government does not have control over its affairs, says Sukhbir
TALWANDISABO (BATHINDA): Against the backdrop of infighting between Punjab Police top brass and many Congress MLAs, reportedly unhappy with government functioning, Shiromani Akali Dali (SAD), on Saturday, claimed that the government had no control over state machinery.
Addressing a gathering during the Baisakhi Mela political conference in Talwandi Sabo, SAD president and former deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said, “Nothing like a government exists right now in the state.” “The situation in Punjab is so bad that there is no control of the state government over anything. Offices, including the police, are working on their own,” he added. “I have never seen such a helpless government. Nobody knows whose orders to follow. How can a CM who does not meet his party MLAs address your problems.”
WISHES PEOPLE ON AMBEDKAR JAYANTI
Sukhbir and his wife union food processing industries minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal, wished people on the birth anniversary of Bhimrao Ambedkar.
On the Special Task Force report that says that his brotherin-law, Bikram Singh Majithia, had a “role in facilitating supply of a drug to two Canadian NRIs ”, Sukhbir said the matter was sub-judice.
He claimed, “Everybody is aware about STF head ADGP Harpreet Singh Sidhu’s enmity with the Majithia family.”
