Cong Punjab Chief Slams Badal After Saffron Switch

Cong Punjab Chief Slams Badal After Saffron Switch

By LokMarg

Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring on Wednesday hit out at Manpreet Singh Badal following his switchover to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), calling him “congenitally power hungry”.

Hours after resigning from the Congress on Wednesday, Badal joined the BJP in the presence of Union minister Piyush Goel and BJP general secretary Tarun Chugh.
Raja Warring alleged that Badal had joined the Congress in anticipation that it was winning the last Assembly polls.

“Good riddance. @MSBADAL is congenitally power-hungry. He joined @INCIndia knowing the party was winning (the Punjab Assembly polls). 5 yrs is a long time for someone like him to stay out of power for unknown reasons. Instead of crying martyrdom, he should be apologising to Congress for betrayal,” tweeted the Congress state president.

Badal on Wednesday resigned from the primary membership of the Congress alleging that the party’s state unit was actively aiding and abetting ‘factionalism’.

A nephew of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) patriarch and former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, Manpreet Badal started his political career in 1995, winning the Gidderbaha Assembly bye-election on a Congress ticket.

BJP is the fourth party that Badal joined in an almost three-decade-long political career. He had previous dalliances with the People’s Party of Punjab, Shiromani Akali Dal and most recently, the Congress.

According to reports, he had a tenous working relationgship with the Congress state chief Raja Warring and his resignation is being seen as a fallout of his differences with him.

Speaking to mediapersons after his saffron switch, Badal said, “
Main aaya BJP office mein, aapne mujhe hatho pe nahi aankho pe bitha lia
(I came to the BJP office and they accorded me a rousing reception).”

In a parting shot at his former party earllier, Badal wrote to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi claiming that a coterie of leaders based in the national capital, New Delhii, was running party affairs in the state and it had given rise to factionalism.

He added that the way the Congress was conducted itself and taking decisions, especially with regard to Punjab, was ‘disappointing’.

Exploiting cracks in the Congress amid alleged factionalism in its Punjab unit, the BJP had earlier weaned away a dozen former party leaders, including heavyweights Captain Amarinder Singh and Sunil Jakhar. (ANI)

Punjab Govt Has Collapsed, AAP CM Should Resign: Chugh | Lokmarg

Punjab Govt Has Collapsed, AAP CM Should Resign: Chugh

By LokMarg

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Tarun Chugh on Monday took a swipe at the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab and said that the administration of the state has collapsed, and the Chief Minister should “immediately resign”.

This statement came in reaction to the decision of the Punjab Civil Services (PCS) Officers Association to go on a week-long strike to protest against the arrest of IAS officer Neelima, by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB).
Chugh said this reflects how the AAP government has crumbled in the border state.

“Due to the lopsided and myopic vision of the AAP government in Punjab there is the unprecedented collapse of administration while AAP leadership has completely failed,” the BJP leader added.

Chugh requested the Punjab Governor to intervene in this crisis of the state and take a report from the AAP government about the abysmal failure of governance.

He also expressed his serious concern at the Punjab IAS officers’ delegation expressing resentment over the Punjab Vigilance Bureau’s action against IAS officer Neelima who was recently booked by VB.

A delegation of around 50 IAS officers met Chief Secretary VK Janjua and flagged their resentment before them. The officers said that the procedure had not been followed while registering the case against Neelima.

Chugh said the AAP leaders have proved themselves to be thoroughly incompetent to run the state in spite of the big mandate given by the people.

He demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for his failure to handle the bureaucracy.

“Punjab has never faced such a situation which has arisen today and indicate the loss people are going to face when officials are not at their desk,” he said. (ANI)

Kharge Rahul Gandhi

BJP Has Huge Washing Machine: Kharge

By LokMarg

Attacking the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday said the ruling party at the Centre has a “huge washing machine” that can clean even the “biggest stains”.

During an event celebrating the 138th Foundation Day of Congress, the party chief said, “BJP has a huge washing machine that can clean even the biggest stains. When people are put into this machine they come out clean. We all have to fight together to save democracy. It is a government of liars at the Centre.”
Referring to the party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra, Kharge said the mass outreach march was an attempt to counter the “hatemongering” by the BJP.

“Bharat Jodo Yatra is an attempt to fight against the atmosphere of hate being created by them (BJP) in the country. A notice was sent to Rahul Gandhi telling him that such events should not be held due to COVID-19 but Prime Minister is attending many public events,” added Kharge.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Congress chief targeted the BJP government during his address at the party headquarters in New Delhi and said the basic principles of India are being constantly attacked.

He said that society is being divided by hate, people are hit by price rises and unemployment but the government is not bothered.

“The basic principles of India are under constant attack. A pit of hatred is being dug all over the country. People are in trouble due to inflation, unemployment but the government does not care,” Kharge said.

He further appealed to people to join the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

Indian National congress was founded on December 28, 1885, in Bombay (Mumbai). Every year on December 28, the party celebrates its foundation day.

Notably, Congress has got a non-Gandhi president after 24 years. In 1998, Sonia Gandhi was made congress president and in 2017 Rahul Gandhi was elected as the party chief but he resigned from the post after the poll debacle in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. (ANI)
