Assails Congress leaders of apathy towards the poor
statesman news service
Chandigarh, 2 August
Giving relief to the BJP, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said that being a key ally of the NDA, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) would go along with the saffrom party’s choice for Prime Ministerial candidate.
Speaking to the media in Kapurthala, Mr Badal said deciding on the Prime Ministerial candidate was an internal matter of the BJP and that the SAD would support every person selected by the party.
"We would extend fulsome support to the BJP on whatever they decide about the PM candidate," he said adding that the SAD-BJP alliance was very firm and as a part of NDA they would ensure that the Congress was routed in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Assailing the Congress leaders for being apathetic towards the problems of the poor and weaker sections of society, the CM said that instead of making any concrete efforts to mitigate the miseries of the common man, the Congress leadership had made a mockery of the poor by claiming that one could easily get food at Rs 5. He said the insensitive Congress leaders were not aware about ground realities and all decisions were made by them while sitting in their air conditioned offices.
He said the statements of  Congress leaders and Planning Commission figures regarding poverty line were absurd.
