Sukhbir attacks AAP, Congress

Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today compared Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress with the 'East India Company' and accused them of "stooping so low" to the extent of practicing "narrow politics".
Comparing both the parties with the 'East India Company', he said, "the sole agenda of these parties is centered on robbing Punjab of its prosperity for which they can go to any length."
He further said keeping in view the "destructive agenda" of these "power hungry parties", the people of Punjab should stay cautious and thwart any "nefarious design of these anti-Punjab forces".
Speaking during the second day of Sangat Darshan Programme at Nihal Singh Wala, the Deputy Chief Minister said Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is the only party working "tirelessly" round- the-clock to ensure development and prosperity of the state.

He expressed hope that the SAD-BJP alliance would score a hatrick in 2017 thus continuing the legacy of serving the people selflessly.
Sukhbir said the work on new road from Delhi-Amritsar via Moga would begin soon for which the process has commenced with Union government.

He said the work on 4-6 laning of roads in Punjab is going on in full swing and by the next year every city and town of the state would have connectivity with 4-6 laned roads.
He castigated Punjab convenor of AAP Sucha Singh Chhotepur for giving a statement regarding levying of power bills on farmers.

He said Congress and AAP are "willfully defaming" Punjab just to further their electoral prospects.
Taking on Amarinder Singh, Sukhbir said the PPCC President has still not come out clean concerning the acceptance of honour from "extremist elements" in Dixie Gurudwara in Canada.
Terming the politics being practiced by Amarinder as only centered on "making merry", he said the former has got "no developmental agenda" regarding Punjab to showcase before people.
