CM should resign for keeping Punjab s interests at stake: Badal ANI | Updated: Apr 10, 2021 23:50 IST
Chandigarh [India], April 10 (ANI): Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Saturday said Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh should resign for compromising the interests of the state by being hand in glove with the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre in punishing the farmers protesting against the three agricultural laws.
The SAD president who was addressing a press conference when queried also disclosed that the Punjab and Haryana high court order quashing the SIT formed by the Congress government in the Kotkapura police firing case had made it clear that the chief minister was not interested in finding the guilty but was using the case to implicate the Badal family. He said it was now clear that the SIT was formed to indulge in political vendetta.

Minister of State, Home Affairs, G. Kishan Reddy on Saturday said the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government was diverting Centre-allotted funds.
He said the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre had provided the rightful share to Telangana, built national highways and commenced the fertilizers factory in Ramagundam for farmers, and had also been supportive of Rythu Bandhu, the Regional Ring Road and Defence production in the State.
“The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government is depleting the public exchequer. Irrigation projects have become its ATM, they continue to draw amounts by raising the estimate values. They do not have the right to criticise the Centre or Modi,” he said.

Worryingly, the agenda behind these changes is often cleverly couched in benign or even affirmative rhetoric that can obfuscate the real intentions. Thus, attempts to instil transparency, ironically, have intensified concerns about opacity in the public domain. The softest of touch from this government, its critics allege, can end up delivering the hardest of blows.
