"The Badal family, and their cronies such as local Akali MLA Jeet Mohinder Singh Sidhu, involved in registration of false cases against innocent people, will not be spared," he said.
Amarinder claimed that all the "5 lakh false cases" registered by the Badal family against its political opponents would be investigated again by his government on assuming power and he would ensure that the local MLA, who had left Congress for "personal gains", suffers for his "misdeeds".
Referring to SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal's 'Sukhvilas', a hotel-cum-resort which reportedly charges around Rs 5 lakh per night, as an example of "loot", Amarinder alleged, "The Badals are only interested in promoting their family interests and are not concerned about the welfare of Punjab."
"I will punish the Akalis for what they have done to the state. I will make sure that every one of them, including the Badals, is punished for destroying the youth of Punjab with drugs and for exploiting the state's financial and other resources through other mafias such as sand, land, cable TV," the state Congress chief said.
"AAP has no concern for the people of Punjab. They have been bringing supporters from other states to take forward their political and electoral agenda," he alleged.
"Punjab belongs to Punjabis, with no place for outsiders who are here only to loot the state and its people," Amarinder said.
