To save money, this government will not even complete the development projects. The ministers are fearlessly resorting to unfair means. SUKHBIR SINGH BADAL, SAD chief

Criticising the government’s recent move of closing 800 primary schools in the state, he said, “Look what they are doing with the educational institutes. Everything can’t be operational for mere profit. To save money, this government will not even complete the development projects. The ministers are fearlessly resorting to unfair means.”

Talking about Navjot Singh Sidhu, Badal said that he should visit Amritsar. “Sidhu is unaware of the happenings here as he lacks interest in the public welfare. He should realise that this is not a laughter show.”

Badal refrained from commenting on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) event, to be held in Delhi on October 25 to mark 350th birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh.

Rashtriya Sikh Sangat, the RSS wing will organise an event at Talkatora indoor stadium in New Delhi.
