Sukhbir going on 100 day yatra across 100 constituencies in Punjab to expose Cong, AAP

Chandigarh, Aug 17 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal on Tuesday announced he would undertake a hundred day yatra across hundred constituencies starting from tomorrow from Zira to expose the corrupt and scam ridden Congress government even as he released a charge sheet against it as well as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)

Addressing a press conference here to launch the party campaign ‘Gall Punjab Di’, the SAD chief he would hold seven hundred public meetings and address each and every section of society during his hundred day yatra during the course of which party workers would go to each and every village and ward in the state.

He said the purpose of this exercise was two fold – to bring the corruption done by Captain government as well as his council of ministers before the people as well as collect feedback from them as to what they expected from the next SAD-BSP government.

Mr Badal also released a missed call number service with number 96878 96878 to invite Punjabis to join the party’s campaign as well as share their aspirations with the party. A website www.GallPunjabDi.in was also launched on the occasion.

He also released the charge sheet against the Congress and AAP on the occasion. He said while Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh had a lot to answer vis a vis the Rs 6,500 crore excise scam, five of his ministerial colleagues were accused of indulging in corruption.

Mr Badal said Capt Amarinder Singh had destroyed Punjab in the last four and a half years. He said the only work the Captain government had done was to loot the State treasury. “Nothing has been done in the way of development. In fact gangsters have been patronized and are wantonly running extortion rackets from inside State jails”.

Elaborating on the Congress and AAP leadership in Punjab, the SAD chief said in his life he had only seen three leaders who had taken an oath and broken it without any qualms. “Capt Amarinder Singh took an oath and broke it by not fulfilling his promise to eradicate drugs, ensure a complete Rs 90,000 crore loan waiver and provide jobs in each household”.

He said similarly AAP Convener Arvind Kejriwal had sworn an oath not to have any truck with the Congress party but broke it within days. “Even Punjab AAP Convener Bhagwant Mann swore on his mother to leave drinking alcohol but never honoured the same”.
