AMARINDER HAS ADMITTED HIS POLITICAL FAILURE-SAD

Chandigarh, September 2 : The Shiromani Akali Dal today ridiculed the statement of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Chief Capt. Amarinder Singh on rebel Congressmen helping the SAD-BJP government and said that defeats struck Capt. Amarinder Singh was so paranoid of SAD-BJP combine that he sees SAD hand everywhere. Reacting to the statement of the Punjab Congress Chief, the party Joint Secretary and Treasurer Mr. NK Sharma in a statement released from party head office here today, said that it is fact that Capt. Amarinder Singh has failed to carry along his party with him and he was trying to deflect his failure to SAD to save his ‘Captaincy’ of the party. He said that he was so paranoid of SAD that he was hallucinating about presence of ruling party even in his dreams. He said that Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee Chief Capt. Amarinder Singh has virtually accepted his political failure by calling various political parties to come to his rescue as his own party men have already deserted him. Mr. Sharma said that Capt. Amarinder Singh has now himself realized that he is a rejected leader of masses who was given a humiliating defeat by the people at the hands of SAD-BJP combine and now his own partymen have rejected his leadership. Thus he is now forced to seek crutches from other parties to make him stand in Punjab politics. Ridiculing the statement of the Congress leader on Congress rebels helping government, Mr. Sharma reminded Capt. Amarinder Singh that elections are over since long and he should come out of election mode now. He said that in no way leaders of the opposition party can help the government. Questioning the dubious silence of Capt. Amarinder Singh on JNRUM guidelines and arm twisting tactics of the Centre that forced Punjab to levy property and other taxes, Mr. Sharma said that instead of protesting against Punjab government, he should organize dharna before 10 Janpath that was eroding the financial sovereignty of states. He said that Capt. should apologize to the people of Punjab that he failed to convince the Congress led UPA government for removing these anti people taxing mandates to the states. He said that he should speak against the Centre government who has created a record of sorts by usurping the public money with series of scams unearthed by CAG and other bodies. Suggesting the Congress leader to accept the ground realities, Mr. Sharma said that Capt. Amarinder Singh should work for the welfare of the people instead of working as a puppet of the Centre to harm the interest of the states.
