Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh challenged Arvind Kejriwal to substantiate his claims that Punjab's Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal had prepared 63 CDs of alleged misdeeds of AAP leaders to defame the party.

"Or is it a preemptive admission on your part that you know more scandals are about to tumble out of your cupboard and you have decided to put the blame on someone else," Capt Amarinder asked.

"No doubt the Akalis and Sukhbir are capable of doing any dirty thing, but even he cannot make fake CDs unless you and your own people are not involved," he said.

Earlier while interacting with people, Amarinder promised to hold the Badal family including Bikram Majithia accountable for "all their sins of omission and commission".

"I will avenge all the excesses and injustice you suffered," he said.

Amarinder promised to continue with the aata-dal scheme if the Congress was voted to power in the next Assembly polls.

"We will also provide sugar and tea under this scheme. We will also ensure good quality wheat to the people and not the substandard as supplied by the Akalis," he said.

"Congress will not only continue with the free power to farmers, it will also ensure regular power supply," he added.

Besides, he said, the government will not charge anything from the farmers for their tubewell connections also "as currently they are made to pay a large amount by the Akali government".
