Rakhra (Patiala), May 7
Appreciating the Election Commission for doing a commendable job in Punjab, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said that reports of money having been distributed in Bathinda to woo voters were false and part of the propaganda against the SAD. Nevertheless, his party would win big in Punjab, he claimed.
On the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) prospects in Punjab, Badal said: “The people of Delhi have seen their style of working and very soon people in Punjab will discard the party too."
For the anti-incumbency sentiment, the CM blamed the Congress-led UPA Government, which, he alleged, had failed to release enough funds for the state for completion of developmental projects. Badal was here to attend the bhog of the death anniversary of Cabinet Minister SS Rakhra’s mother, Jaswant Kaur. Denying that efforts were made to bribe voters, he asked a mediaperson if he had been a witness to such malpractice. He claimed that sitting MP Harsimrat Badal had worked hard in her constituency and would, hence, be re-elected.
“I am not saying so because she is my daughter-in-law. She worked hard in her constituency and the state government cannot take the credit away from her.” On Manpreet Badal’s future, he said he was ready for a pact, “but that’s possible if he wants it too.”
