Chandigarh, Nov2: Referring to the recent announcement made by Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, state Congress Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Tuesday attacked politicians who offer lollipops just ahead of polls. He said that Punjab’s welfare comes from a roadmap and not by tactics, reflecting that infighting still persists in the state Congress unit.
Notably, the Punjab CM announced an 11% hike in dearness allowance for the state government employees and slashed power rates by Rs 3 per unit for the domestic sector.
“Give people ‘lollipops’ in the last two months. Question is from where will they give it? Is the objective just to form a government by telling lies and making false promises? Way of Punjab’s welfare comes from a roadmap,” said Sidhu while addressing an event.
