Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Saturday accused his Punjab counterpart Charanjit Singh Channi of making false promises just like Capt Amarinder Singh and challenged him to prove his claims of giving jobs to 36,000 contractual employees, free power or reducing the rate of sand in the state.
“I have seen big hoardings making tall claims in CM Channi’s name. These are all lies. Let him come and prove that he has given 36,000 jobs,” said Kejriwal.
He said a few days ago, some sanitation workers from Punjab met him and complained about not being regularised. When “safai karamcharis” or teachers have not been regularised, then who has been regularised, he asked the Congress-led government.
The Delhi CM said the statements made by the general public in his interaction with them showed that neither were the people getting free power or reduced electricity bills but the rate of sand is also sky high due to illegal mining. “False promises and claims are being made by Channi just as false promises were made by Capt Amarinder. Channi is promising five marla houses in villages to thousands of people when the reality is that in villages there is no land available for even a single house. These promises are just like the fake ‘ghar ghar rozgar’ scheme of Capt Amarinder in which not even a single person has got a job,” said Kejriwal.
