While visiting a village in his Lambi Assembly segment, Badal today said, “In the past few days, the Congress government changed three DGPs in the state. In the history, the DGP is never replaced like this. The only agenda of the Congress government is to put Badals and Majithia behind the bars. Earlier, no DGP agreed on this and now they have brought a new DGP. I don’t want to comment on him. They can come and take me anywhere. I am ready.”
He added, “The government always has to face the result of vendetta politics. My opponents registered hundreds of cases against me, but it did not bother me. In the past, a case was registered against my wife as well. However, during my tenure as CM, no Congress man had any problem. The government is just to serve public and not to indulge into vendetta politics. A CM should forget that he is affiliated to which political party. The CM is actually common man of all the parties.”
Speaking further, Badal said, “We will now fight all the battle against this move of the state government. This is not a new thing for us.”
