Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh on Saturday called Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal the “most corrupt” politician in India and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal the “biggest of all liars”.
Exuding confidence of a Congress sweep in the Assembly polls, the Congress chief ministerial candidate negated any threat either from the AAP or the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), saying he did not see them securing more than 25 and 12 seats respectively.
“In the remaining seats, the Congress would win hands down. The SAD would trail heavily even in their strongholds of Lambi and Jalalabad - the seats of the Badal father-son duo. Sukhbir’s own constituency of Jalalabad is in a big mess, with no development since he had been busy all these years looting the state”, Amarinder alleged.
He came down heavily on Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal for growing religious intolerance and incidents of sacrilege in the state, and promised to put the latter behind bars after getting all cases of desecration re-investigated.
