Amarinder vows to review Badal govt decisions

Punjab Congress president Captain Amarinder Singh on Monday vowed to review all decisions taken by the Badal government in the last three months of the Akali rule in Punjab, accusing them of circumventing established rules and norms to push their electoral agenda.

In a statement issued here, Amarinder lambasted the Badals for bypassing all political and administrative norms to pass a series of legislations through a special session of the Assembly just weeks ahead of the Assembly elections in Punjab.

The game plan of the Akalis had been thoroughly exposed and only a total rout in the polls could really teach them a lesson, said Captain Amarinder, reiterating his promise to review every act of the Badals and throw them into jail if found guilty of any criminal act or misdemeanor.

The Congress, said Captain Amarinder, will review every single order and decision of the Badal government, taking through hastily called cabinet meetings and special sessions of the state Assembly. Any decision taken in violation of established rules would be revoked, said the Punjab Congress president, warning that accountability would be fixed and action would be taken against all civil servants found facilitating such violation.
