Lambi, March 22

Former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said there would be no impact of removing red beacons from vehicles of the VIPs on the commoners in the state. He advised the Congress government to take decisions for the welfare of people.

“It doesn’t matter whether the red beacon is allowed or banned. What is the impact of it on the common man? The government must do works that directly benefit people. In the first cabinet meeting, the Congress has not announced any such work,” said Badal, while visiting villages on the second day of his thanksgiving tour in Lambi.

He, however, added that the SAD would not react on the initial performance of the government, saying, “We will wait and watch.”

On the controversy over Navjot Singh Sidhu continuing his TV shows, Badal said: “It is his own sweet will or if the law permits. What can I say?”
