BJP lashes out at Capt. Amarinder Singh for failing to keep his promises

Chandigarh, April 16, 2017: Thirty days or one month is too short a period, but when you make pre-poll promises of setting everything right on day one and eradicate drugs from Punjab in one month, then we can't avoid commenting on your thirty days in office, said Punjab BJP secretary, Vineet Joshi, on the completion of Captain Amarinder Singh's one month in office. Joshi was flanked by state vice-president Sardar Harjit Singh Grewal, Sardar Iqbal Singh Lalpura and state secretary Vijay Puri.
Addressing a press conference here Joshi said, “The head of the Special Task Force (STF) to combat the drugs menace joined the anti-drug body two weeks after it was announced and just two day ahead of completion of Capt. Amarinder Singh’s one month pledge, the STF was formally notified. This reflects the seriousness of his promise to eradicate drugs with ‘Gutka Sahib’ in hand”.
Capt. Amarinder Singh completed his one month in office today and so did his oath of eradicating drugs from Punjab. Demanding a statement, BJP Leaders said, “Have you made Punjab drug free”?
"With the civil and police administration at his disposal, by now he must have gauged the magnitude of drug menace in Punjab. Capt. Amarinder Singh should now substantiate his and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's allegation that 78% Punjabis are drug addicts with evidence or he should tender an apology for defaming Punjabis", said the Punjab BJP leaders.
Stepping up the ante`, Joshi claimed that with completion of Captain Amarinder's one month in office, a new era of Congress’ ‘Goondagardi’ Oppression & Misgovernance had dawned in Punjab.
Listing out the incidents, Joshi said, “Suicide by fifteen farmers, desecration of Guru Granth Sahib at six places, forcible occupation of Truck Unions at seven places, gang wars inside Kapurthala Jail and outside SSP Batala's residence, unabated illegal mining all over Punjab, jailbreak attempt in Gurdaspur, U-turns by ministers, pan Punjab protest by parents against private schools, auctioning of farmers land and physical assault on Akali-BJP workers- all these incidents have marred the first month of Captain Amarinder chief ministership”.
