-Complaint already lodged against Badals for violating norms for using official vehicles for personal visits
Chandigarh, July 17, 2018
The general secretary of Aam Aadmi Party and RTI activist Adv. Dinesh Chadha on Monday asked cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu to avoid making just headlines of newspapers and ask CM Capt. Amarinder Singh to act against Badals for the gross violations during 10 years of Akali rule.
Reacting on the information put before media by Sidhu regarding Badal family spending whooping 121 crores on using charted planes during their rule, Adv. Chadha said that the case has already been exposed by Aam Aadmi Party and it is the time to act on that. He said that he has even lodged a complaint before Auditor General of Punjab to take action against Badals for using govt. helicopter and charted plains to serve private purposes. Besides former CM Parkash Singh Badal, his deputy Sukhbir Singh Badal, cabinet minister Bikram Majithia, MP Harsimrat Badal and Cabinet minister Adesh Partap Kairon have enjoyed air journey on govt. expenses violating the norms. Badals used govt. helicopter for their repeated personal visits to their Balasar farm in Haryana. He said, he has already written to the govt. to take action against Badals for voilating norms but to no avail. He asked Sidhu as he is the member of Capt. Amarinder Singh cabinet and must as the CM to take note of it.
Adv. Chadha said that the Congress govt. in Punjab is not serious about the affairs of state and all the promises made before elections are falling flat. He said that the farmer and farm laborers suicides are on rise, drug deaths are reported everyday, unemployement is getting bigger issue but CM is busy holidaying with friends.
Adv. Chadha said that Sidhu must remind Capt. Amarinder Singh to respect the verdict given to Congress by people of Punjab. He said that people of Punjab are waiting for Capt. to act against Akalis for their misdeeds.
