Patiala, March 28

Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha, Capt Amarinder Singh, today challenged Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal to prove him wrong on the fact that the state was revenue surplus in 2006-07. Amarinder was the Chief Minister then.

Reacting to Badal’s claims that he was lying about the revenue figures in 2006-07, when the state had a revenue surplus of Rs 2,000 crore, Capt Amarinder said, “Let Badal prove me wrong and I will quit politics, and if he fails to do so, he should resign for misleading the public.”

Capt Amarinder pointed out that the figures were on record. “Not only were we revenue surplus, but we had also met all the expenses,” he said.
