SHOWDOWN EVOKES SHARP REACTIONS

“Respected Captain Amarinder ji! This type of behaviour by chief secretary, time and again, is unacceptable. He has regularly disregarded our cabinet ministers and their decisions. I request you to remove him from this post immediately”.

Amrinder Raja Warring, Cong MLA from Gidderbaha

“Ministers walking out of pre-Cabinet meeting after argument with chief secretary is like judge walking out of court after an argument with advocate. If they found bureaucracy to be incompetent, they should have replaced the officers and not staged a walkout. Ministers walking out should resign for their incompetence as many others capable of handling work pressure are ready to replace them”.

Ravneet Singh Bittu, Ludhiana Cong MP
