Punjab CM’s Inability To Manage Home Portfolio Resulting In Dacoities Of Crores: Sukhbir Badal

Chandigarh, June 13 (TNA) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president and former Deputy CM of Punjab Sukhbir Singh Badal has said the inability of chief minister Bhagwant Mann to manage the home portfolio was resulting in dacoities of crores of rupees on an everyday basis.

Talking to newsmen, the SAD president said “never has Punjab been wrecked by multi-crore dacoities and heists on an everyday basis as is occurring in the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government. “Dacoits and gangsters have become emboldened in the AAP raj to the detriment of the common man who was expecting real ‘badlav’ from this corrupt and deceitful government”.

Sukhbir Badal said all this was the result of the chief minister’s preoccupation with fulfilling the commands of his boss and AAP Convener Arvind Kejriwal. “The chief minister has been relegated to the role of a chaperone whose only responsibility was to command the State aircraft for the use of Kejriwal. Besides this, the AAP high command is making the Punjab chief minister use funds from the State exchequer to campaign for AAP nation-wide”.

Asserting that the chief minister’s continued absence from the State, as well as his failure to take effective meetings to review the law and order situation, had led to the present role in the system, Badal said “it seems the AAP government has sublet law and order to dacoits and gangsters who are calling the shots in the absence of the Punjab law enforcement agencies”.
