DW BUREAU / Chandigarh The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today asked the Congress party to tell who should be held responsible for its party government's failure to implement any of the promises made to the people of Punjab and demanded that it implement its election manifesto in totality before coming out with any further announcements. It also announced to launch a State wide programme to expose the Congress party as well as lay the foundations for a new and progressive Punjab under the leadership of the SAD-BSP alliance. In a statement here, SAD Spokesman Dr Daljit Singh Cheema said the entire Congress party right from party president Sonia Gandhi to chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh was guilty of deceiving Punjabis with false promises. "Now the time has come for them to own up their sin instead of trying to come up with new ways to befool the people yet again". Taking on the chief minister for indulging in outright lies by stating that 93 per cent of the poll promises had been fulfilled, Dr Cheema said forget 93 per cent even three per cent of the poll promises contained in the Congress party's election manifesto have not been implemented. He challenged the chief minister to tell if the government had waived off farmer loans by instituting a complete waiver of Rs 90,000 crore, whether unemployment allowance of Rs 2,500 per month had been given to youth and whether each family in Punjab had been covered by the 'ghar ghar naukari' scheme as promised? "The time for excuses is over. The Congress party is at the fag end of its tenure and has nothing to show by way of any achievement or development work. Punjabis won't be befooled by empty promises again", he added. Asserting that the SAD would not only expose the chief minister and his anti-Punjab party before the people, Dr Cheema said SAD President would be undertaking a campaign tour of all constituencies of the State starting from this month. "Mr Sukhbir Singh Badal will tell the people how chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh even reneged on the oath taken in the name of the holy Gutka Sahib and how the Congress party had betrayed farmers, youth, scheduled caste, poor and disadvantaged sections of society besides trade and industry". Dr Cheema said simultaneously the SAD would present its thirteen point programme to the people. "The SAD has a history of implementing each and every promise made to the people be it that of free power for the agriculture sector, making Punjab power surplus or implementing unique social welfare schemes like the 'aata-daal' scheme, 'shagun' scheme or old age pension". He said the thirteen point programme announced by the SAD President which included an Rs 2,000 per month grant for women heads of family, cut in diesel price by Rs ten per litre for the agriculture sector, 400 units power free for all domestic consumers and Rs ten lakh per annum health insurance for all families would cater to all sections of society.
