Amarinder lashes out at Modi on "Ma-Beti" jibes on Congress

Amritsar: Retaliating on BJP leader Narendra Modi's jibes of “Ma-Beti ki sarkar” on Congress President Sonia Gandhi and daughter Priyanka, party's Amritsar candidate today questioned if this was kind of respect the rival party's Prime

“Why the drugs don't flow into those states?” he asked.  Although the borders were completely sealed but still some parts of drugs were getting smuggled into India. Large haul of drugs was regularly seized along the border, he claimed.

Amarinder further claimed that when Modi had first come to Punjab to Jagaraon on February 23, he had promised that no Punjabi farmer will be disturbed from Punjab.  He said, two months have already passed and nothing has been done.

He lashed out at Badal (Sukhbir) for timidly keeping quiet on this crucial issue lest it annoyed his new boss, adding there was a huge gap between what Modi preached and what he practised.

Later, Amarinder held a road show in the city.  Standing in an open vehicle, he was led by several youths on motorcycles, party sources said.

Appealing them to vote for him on April 30, he said, Amritsar needs a better voice in Parliament who should understand the problems of the people better.
