Bathinda, August 13
Union Food Processing Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal today took on state Local Bodies Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu and Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal for accusing the Badal family of money laundering.
Addressing the media after inaugurating Regional Passport Office in the city, Harsimrat asked if Sidhu had proof against any Akali leader, who was stopping him from taking action? She alleged that Sidhu was trying to divert the attention of people from the government’s failure to keep its promises.
She said Sidhu had raised a lot of hue and cry over the alleged non-release of funds for Amritsar during the SAD-BJP’s regime, but his government had not done anything for the holy city. She claimed that Sidhu wanted to be CM, but he talked much and worked less.
Taking on Manpreet, she alleged that he betrayed the state farmers over debt waiver. She said before the elections, the Congress made big promises without realising the implications.
On the CM’s Mansa visit, Harsimrat said the CM was only paying lip service and had not released any compensation for cotton crop damage in Malwa.
