Tewari raps Badal for exploiting people’s sentiments over water

LUDHIANA, June 25: Ludhiana MP Manish Tewari today rapped the Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal for his attempts to exploit the public sentiments by raising the issue of the distribution of water in a wrong way.



Referring to the recent statement of the Chief Minister about demanding royalty on water from neighbouring states of Haryana and Rajasthan, Tewari pointed out, he (Badal) was deliberately making such impracticable statements while burying the real issue.



"The Chief Minister is simply trying to use diversionary tactics by issuing such statements and holding all party meetings", Tewari said during a public meeting at Mullanpur Dakha near here. He pointed out, the matter is with the Supreme Court of India so what will Badal get out of the all party meeting. Badal seems to have no faith in the team of lawyers he has hired, Tewari observed.



The Ludhiana MP claimed, it was during the Congress regime under the dynamic leadership of Capt Amarinder Singh that the government got a law passed in the assembly to save Punjab waters. "Can Badal quote one similar example where he put his government at stake to save the interests of the state", Tewari challenged Badal, while adding, once the Congress comes to power in the state in 2012, all the issues would be sorted out.



Tewari said, Badal was trying to use such diversionary methods only to divert the attention of the public from the failures of his government which is surviving with the aid of the central grants. He alleged, the central aid was being directed towards building hotels in Gurgaon for the Badals and warned that once Congress came to power all these issues would be thoroughly inquired and investigated into.



Among others present on the occasion included former minister Malkiat Singh Dakha, senior party leader Jagpal Singh Khangura, Telu Ram Bansal, Major Singh Mullanpuri, Pawan Dewan, Nahar Singh Gill, Manjit Singh Bharowal, Manjit Singh Hambran and others.
