Capt, Badals 2 sides of same coin, says CM

Badhni Kalan (Moga), Dec 1

Lashing out at former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh and Shiromani Akali Dal supremo Sukhbir Singh Badal, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi said they were both two sides of the same coin. He was addressing a public gathering at Badhni Kalan village in Moga district on Wednesday.

“Both the Badals and Amarinder have no sense of right and wrong. Earlier, the Badals helped PM Narendra Modi to bring in ordinances on the three controversial farm laws and now Amarinder is helping the PM in bringing the BJP government in the state,” he alleged, adding that they both were the biggest enemies of Punjabis.

Taking on Amarinder, he said that he (Amarinder) was backstabbing Punjab and Punjabis by aligning with the Modi government and justifying the notification of the central government enhancing the jurisdiction of BSF in Punjab by 50 km. “This is a direct attack on the rights of states as well as the federal structure which will not be tolerated by us,” he said.

Channi said it was due to Amarinder and the Badal family that the transport and cable mafia had looted the people of Punjab.

The Chief Minister also formally initiated the process of giving 5-marla plots to the beneficiaries. Today, 1,294 beneficiaries were awarded the ownership of plots in the district. — TNS
