Ramgarh : The PPCC president, Capt Amarinder Singh, today said that “wiping out” the Badals from the state’s political scene would be the one- point agenda of the Congress in the Assembly elections. He blamed all ills plaguing Punjab and Punjabis at the doorstep of Parkash Singh Badal and his “cohorts”. The former Chief Minister also regretted that Badal had remained silent even as the state was descending into a state of anarchy. He also reiterated his party’s stand that each and every false case registered against the Congress workers would be accounted for and responsibility fixed. It was a vintage Amarinder who addressed his first political rally after taking over the reins of the PPCC. The rally was organised by sitting MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira to commemorate the birth anniversary of his late father and former minister Sukhjinder Singh. Amarinder further alleged that there was no governance in the state and it was being run by Badal’s son and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal in violation of the Constitution. Taking a dig at the Badals, the PPCC chief said, “Sukhbir is dreaming of ruling Punjab for another 25 years while he has managed to ruin it in just four years.” He said the Badals had such an unquenchable thirst for money that they were grabbing everything they thought would earn them money, be it sand, transport, cable or liquor business. They had their hand in every pie. Amarinder asserted that the Congress government would not only investigate and fix responsibility against excesses committed in Bholath, but the entire state as the Akalis had got registered over 20,000 cases against their workers. Earlier, he paid glowing tributes to the late Sukhjinder Singh and recalled his association with him as a minister about 25 years ago.
