[Ludhiana,Punjab]Kejriwal doing drama: Dy CM Badal
Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today lashed out at Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal describing his five day ongoing visit to the state as “Nautanki” (drama).
“Kejriwal did not bother to visit Haryana where he belongs to when the state is burning because of Jat reservation agitation,” Sukhbir said adding in Punjab he is “shedding crocodile tears” at the houses of some farmers who committed suicides years ago.
He alleged the Kejriwal government has “totally failed” in Delhi where they had only spent or earmarked crores of money for self advertisement programmes.
Kejriwal had promised to install 2 lakh CCTV cameras for safety of the city there but had installed only two hundred of them, Sukhbir alleged.
“Now he is trying to be fool the people of Punjab in the name of Aam Admi of whom he was least bothered,” Sukhbir said.
Sukhbir said that he was neither “panicky” nor did he “lack confidence” in suggesting that Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal would lead the Akali BJP alliance at the next state assembly elections and form the government.”Working under Badal s leadership was like a lesson at Harvard University,” Sukhbir said.
He also scotched all rumours of any break in the Akali BJP alliance and described it as as an alliance for the state which would never see any divorce.
In Chandigarh, SAD Secretary and Punjab Education Minister Daljit Singh Cheema alleged that the language used by Kejriwal against the Akalis is “highly derogatory, condemnable and amounts to a personal attack” on each and every worker of the Shiromani Akali Dal.
Had Kejriwal been little bit aware of the Akali/Sikh history he would not have “committed this blunder” of calling the “real lions” as “gidders” (wolfs), he said.
Cheema told Kejriwal to stop using such “insulting, abusive and inflammatory” language and urged him to tender an unconditional public apology.
Making mockery of Kejriwal’s claim on “removing corruption” from Punjab if AAP is voted to power within two months, the SAD leader said that it was surprising that “corruption” was “flourishing” under his government in Delhi and “surpassed even the previous record” but he is making “tall and hollow” promises to Punjabis only to lure them to vote for the AAP.

[SBS Nagar,Pb] Punjab,Pointing Out Shortcomings,Demands Amendment in Crop Insurance
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today claimed that there are certain “shortcomings” in the Centre’s new crop insurance scheme and said an amendment was needed in order to make it “farmer friendly”.
He said “Declaring village as a unit for crop insurance would hardly fulfil the basic spirit behind introducing the scheme.
Rather it should ensure that plot was considered as a unit to compensate the farmers for their loss,”
Badal also claimed that insuring the crop only if whole village pays its premium, was also an “impractical assumption”.

[New Delhi,Amritsar]Desecration of Guru Granth Sahib is only Trigger:Congress
Indian National Congress Says that Conflict between the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and the Panj Pyaras+ desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib is only the trigger
Punjab is reeling under a severe crisis. The people of the once prosperous State are up in arms. The State government has resorted to firing that has led to deaths of protesters.
Bur Unfortunately Punjab is suffering from a much deeper malaise, which stems from the corruption ridden misrule of the SAD-+BJP government.
Congress Added Recently, the cotton farmers of the State were devastated when their crops were destroyed by a whitefly attack. They later found that the pesticides provided to them by the government were spurious – a multi-crore scam. No heads rolled in the government. But, in the last 45 days, 15 farmers have ended their lives.
Support prices of crops have remained stagnant despite a rise in input costs, but the SAD-BJP government has turned a blind eye to the issue.
