Singh became Chief Minister of Punjab in 2002 and continued until 2007. At the same time, Vajpayee was the PM from 1999 to 2004.
The former punjab chief ministge calls Nijjer’s murder result of rivalry within Gurdwara factions in Surrey.
Besides ensuring a cozy stay to gangster in a Punjab jail, the former CM helped him secure prime land in Ropar, the Punjab chief minister claimed.
With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Captain Amarinder Singh ridiculing Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s statement that his government…
The White Paper will reveal all the documents signed by the previous SAD-BJP government in the state, as well as the power plants set up by them, which had caused undue burden on the state, the CM told reporters in an informal chat after the Governor’s address on the first day of the two-day special session of the Assembly.
In a letter to the PM, Amarinder pointed out that the state Government planned to celebrate the historic occasion in a befitting manner with a series of programmes through the year, beginning April 2020.
Amid slogans of ‘Saada naara, Captain dobaraa’ (Amarinder should be the CM again), Amarinder said he would not quit politics till he had ensured jobs for the youth and opportunities for all to grow in a progressive Punjab.
An elected government which refuses to heed the voice of its people or respond to their anger is bound to lose their confidence and collapse, warned the Punjab CM, adding that the BJP’s stance on the issue smacked of a dangerously fascist approach that would lead to their eventual downfall.
Expressing deep concern over Akal Takht’s (the highest temporal seat of Sikhism) acting Jathedar’s remarks, Amarinder said while he himself did not agree with the Akal Takht Jathedar’s remarks that Sikhs were not safe in India, the CM said that if the former did feel that way then he should take up the matter with the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and ask them to leave the BJP-led coalition government at the Centre, of which they are a part.
