SAD 'failed' to send Pb cadre officers to Chandigarh: AAP

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today accused SAD-BJP government of having "failed" to send officers of Punjab cadre to Chandigarh on deputation and alleged that it showed the "anti-Punjab" face of Badals.
"Punjab government has failed to send officers of Punjab cadre to Chandigarh on deputation. Badal government is cheating and misleading the people of Punjab on the issue," AAP convener, Sucha Singh Chhotepur said.
"This is an example of anti-Punjab face of Badals," he alleged, adding that a number of posts of Punjab quota in UT administration are lying vacant.
Chhotepur said after every five years before elections, Badal tried to grab the votes of Punjabis on the Chandigarh issue while the ground reality was opposite.

After elections, Badal forgot about the promises made during the elections.
He said just to confuse the people of Punjab, the state government had written a letter to the Union government to seek 60 per cent quota of Punjab cadre officers in the Union Territory Chandigarh under Punjab Reorganisation Act 1966.
Chhotepur alleged that Punjabi language has failed to get its due in Chandigarh because of the "bad policies" of Akali-BJP and Congress governments in the past.
He claimed that at present the percentage of Punjab cadre officers and employees in some important departments had gone down to even lesser than 5 per cent.
