‘Badals pushing Punjab backwards’

Amritsar Amarinder gets rousing welcome in Amritsar

Former chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Sunday got a rousing welcome in the holy city as he arrived to pay obeisance at the Golden Temple. Terming his visit a thanksgiving to the Almighty for victory in the legal battle against his expulsion from the Assembly, he made a scathing attack on the SAD-BJP combine.

He translated the rousing welcome he got as anger against the state government. “I never thought the response would be so big. This shows that the days of the Badal government are numbered,” he said, speaking with mediapersons at party leader Jasbir Singh Dimpa’s residence.

He said the law and order situation was deteriorating in the state and the Badal government was “thrusting the state into backwardness”.

He also held the state government responsible for the low yield of the wheat and shortage of power in the state. He said “in such an atmosphere of distrust”, the elements of Naxalism and other anti-national elements “are bound to take roots”.

“When people are dissatisfied, as is happening under the present regime of Badal, the elements of extremism get stronger. The state government is sleeping over clear trends,” he said, adding that the recovery of explosives on Saturday from an abandoned car outside the District Congress Committee (Rural) office was “an attempt by ruling party leaders to divert attention from our road show”.
