accusing Bikram Majithia for selling drugs in Punjab and his name had figured
in the FIR related to drug cases. He was never interrogated by the Police is
cases where his name had appeared. “He was named kingpin of the drug trade in
Punjab by accused Jagdish Bhola and Jagjit Singh Chahal arrested by Police in
synthetic drug racket.

government would not allow Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and members of
his cabinet, facing corruption charges, to go scot free. “We will constitute a
Special Investigating Team to probe the ill gotten wealth of Badal family and
recover every single pie of money looted from Punjab”, he asserted. He said

said that PPCC president Capt Amarinder Singh had back stabbed the people of Punjab
by helping Badal in Lambi constituency. He said that Amarinder Singh had
realized only 20 days before the elections that Badal was looting Punjab and
did great injustice to the people of state. “AAP candidate Jarnail Singh would
win in Lambi hands off and Badal has realized it. Badal had saved Capt
Amarinder in the corruption cases and Amarinder is reciprocating it by dividing
the anti-Badal votes.”, he alleged.

lost his credibility in the eye of public. His presence would not impact the
AAP prospects. He also stated that in Jalalabad Bhagwant Mann would defeat

dispute and construction of SYL canal for the last over 30 years. He said that
they were not interested to resolve the issue for vested interests. “There is
BJP government in Center, Haryana and Punjab. If Prime Minister Narender Modi

steps were taken to settle the dispute”, he stated.

politics on the issue. We will corrective steps at political and legal level

and Congress Prime Minister laid the foundation stone. He also said that Badal
family had received prime land in Gurgaon for Sukhbir Badal’s hotel in lieu of
giving nod for construction of canal.

people of Punjab were voting to oust Badal family and this is the core issue in
elections. He said that whosoever would try to divide the anti-Badal votes, he
would be enemy of Punjab. In reply to a
question, he said that it was unfortunate that Dharamvira Gandhi was working
against the interests of Punjab. He appealed him to stand with the people and
not to divide the opposition votes.
