Chandigarh: Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains has hit out at Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal, accusing him of misleading the public for personal gain. In a sharp statement, Bains criticised Badal’s remarks on the functioning of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in the state.
“Sukhbir Badal should name one state in the country where the chief minister also serves as the chairman,” said Bains. He accused the SAD leader of mortgaging Punjab’s interests for personal benefit. “The man who sold Punjab’s rights by trading his hotel, farmhouse, land, and ministry is now questioning the AAP government,” Bains said.
He further alleged that Badal built hotels for personal profit while compromising the honour of Punjab. “Such a person has no moral authority to target a government that is working day and night for Punjabis and Punjabiyat,” he added.
Reiterating the AAP government’s commitment to development, Bains said the only dream of the present administration is to build a vibrant and prosperous Punjab. He advised Badal to focus on managing his hotels and allow the government to work for the welfare of the people.
