CHANDIGARH: The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today condemned the Bhagwant Mann led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government for wasting crores of rupees of public money on conducting a sham Vidhan Sabha session in Sri Anandpur Sahib and said the government could have used this opportunity to upgrade the infrastructure in holy city.
In a statement, SAD MLA Ganieve Kaur Majithia said the AAP government could have used the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib to give a boost to the infrastructure in Sri Anandpur Sahib but instead chose to play dirty politics on such a pious occasion.She said the AAP government chose to waste crores of rupees on a one day sham session which had a zero outcome. She said that all this was done to give business to one tent owner.
Mrs Majithja said Punjabis were surprised to see the conduct of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann who instead of extending cooperation to the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabhandhak Committee (SGPC) for organising a religious function on the occasion, chose to attack the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib. The Akali leader said previous governments had used such historic occasions to bring big projects in the State.
