People’s Party of Punjab (PPP) president Manpreet Singh Badal today said the Parkash Singh Badal government had failed on all fronts. He was referring to the primary health care centre that caters to Mari Mustafa, Thathi Bhai, Samalsar and Sekha Kalan villages not being supplied power for 21 years. He said this was not an isolated case in the state.

“The pitiable condition of the primary health centre at Thathi Bhai is a reflection of the pathetic state of governance. On the one hand, the state government can’t provide adequate funds for the centre, and on the other, the CM continues to distribute crores of rupees at Sangat Darshan programmes,” he said.

He said the irony was that the health centre at Thathi Bhai made news last year too when several people died of hepatitis in the nearby Mari Mustafa village.

The estranged nephew of the CM said there had been reports of power supply being cut to waterworks in the rural areas of Ferozepur. “The government has miserably failed to govern,” he said.

Manpreet then criticised the falling education standards in the state. He said the schoolteachers, who were invited by Education Minister Daljit Singh Cheema last week, failed to write even a single sentence correctly in English.

He further said rather than focusing on their business interests, the CM and his son should lay emphasis on good governance.
