Capt slams CM Badal's 'governance skills'

Thatta (Sultanpur Lodhi): Congress deputy leader in Lok Sabha Amarinder Singh, on Sunday, targeted Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal's governance skills saying that despite ruling the state for five terms, the CM knew nothing about governance.
"Fifth term for a chief minister is quite uncommon and one expects that the CM would be very seasoned with such a long time in office but Badal has not learnt anything and knows little about governance," Amarinder said, addressing a public rally at Thatta village near Sultanpur Lodhi organized by MLA Navtej Singh Cheema."Earlier I thought he would be a very wise man but his rule showed otherwise," he said.
He claimed that SAD-BJP alliance would collapse due to very strong internal contradictions and BJP was just waiting for an opportune moment to withdraw its support to SAD. "BJP is wary of public anger against Badals and they would withdraw the support at the earliest available pretext. Collapse of this alliance would be good for Punjab," he said.
Meanwhile, referring to Aam Aadmi Party and hinting that the latter was harming Congress, he said that the new party rather divided the opposition vote and in the next election voters should be very careful as people were vouching for change.
Talking to media, Amarinder said SAD and BJP should come clean on yoga guru Baba Ramdev's remarks that 80% of Punjab youths were drug addicts. "Ramdev is their best buddy and they should now explain their position on his remarks as earlier, they had raised a lot of hue and cry when Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi had said that 70% of Punjabi youths were drug addicts," he said.
