Summary:
Amritsar, Feb 12 (PTI) SAD senior leader Bikram Singh Majithia on Saturday accused state Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu of trying to befool people with his Punjab Model of governance after failing to provide even basic facilities to people of his constituency.
Majithia accused Sidhu of making hollow promises before the state assembly elections while talking to media at the Vallah vegetable market in Amritsar and highlighting the “pitiable” condition of the market.
“People can see how traders are forced to do their business in such poor conditions without even drainage facilities here.
This is despite the fact that traders have been contributing hundreds of crores of rupees to the state exchequer by way of taxes," said Majithia.
The senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader is contesting against Sidhu from the latter"s Amritsar East constituency.
"It is shameful to see that Navjot Sidhu was claiming that he had developed Amritsar East like no other constituency whereas people were crying for basic facilities and the poor and pitiable conditions had become the order of the day," he said.
