Badals single point agenda is to promote family business:Bajwa

Congress today said that Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal is "least concerned" about Punjab's development as his single point agenda is to promote the "family business".
"It is the responsibility of the government to create jobs or avenues for self-employment," Congress chief Partap Singh Bajwa said in a statement here today.
However, "the ruling Badal family has a single point agenda and that is promotion of family business and that too at the cost of the state," Bajwa said.
The Punjab Congress chief accused Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal of "continued indifference" towards the genuine problems of the people which reinforces the perception that he is "least concerned" about his responsibilities.

He said the gravity of the situation could be gauged from the fact that even families of the unemployed linemen were on protest in Sangrur yesterday.
Bajwa slammed the CM for adopting "repressive measures to crush genuine struggle launched by various sections of society".

He charged the Shiromani Akali Dal and its alliance partner BJP for "totally betraying the people and backtracking from their promises" and advised the CM to go through his party's manifesto to know how many promises have been fulfilled so far.
He said the state BJP failed to lobby with its own government at the Centre to provide special relief to Punjab that was urgently needed.

Terming the alliance as "opportunistic", the PPCC chief said the state power had only been used for "self-aggrandisement" rather than the welfare of the people for which they would not forgive them (SAD-BJP) in the next Assembly election.
