BATHINDA, OCT 27
Terming the proposed
Cabinet reshuffle in the Congress led UPA government as a ‘face saving
exercise’, Punjab Chief Minister Mr Parkash Singh Badal today said that it
would hardly make any difference as it was a writing on the wall that the
Congress would be routed out from the political map of the county in the forthcoming
Lok Sabha elections.
Talking to the media
person on the sidelines of a function organized by Maharishi Valmiki Trust to
mark the Pargat Utsav of Bhagwan Valmiki Ji Maharaj here today, the Chief
Minister said that the countrymen were fed up from the anti-people policies of
the UPA government and were eagerly waiting for the general elections slated to
be held in year 2014 to show them a door. He said that the result of a number
of state assembly elections and by-polls for the Lok Sabha in which the Congress
candidates have been trounced very badly has made it clear that due to its anti
people policies the graph of UPA government was declining across the country
and in this hour of crisis the attempt of the Congress leadership to give a
fresh look to its government by inducting new faces in Cabinet would hardly
make any difference. Mr Badal said that it would be a futile exercise to induct
new faces in the Cabinet as the countrymen were well aware of such tantrums of
the Congress party and they would hardly fall prey to them.
Terming that in the
regime of UPA government the corruption has surpassed all its previous records,
the Chief Minister said that this government would go down in the annals of
history as the most corrupt government of the country. He further said that due
to the misrule of the Congress a large number of social maladies like
unemployment, poverty, illiteracy and others have made inroads in the country
due to which the agonies of the common man have increased manifolds. Making a scathing attack on the UPA
government, the Chief Minister reiterated that it has broken the back bone of a
common man by increasing the prices of essential commodities in
their tenure adding that the inflationary trends
in the country have accentuated the worries of the common man. The Chief
Minister lamented that it was a
paradoxical situation that the Congress party which has assumed power on the name
of the common man was in reality responsible for their plight as
during its five decades of rule over the country it has never bothered
to keep any check over the serious problems faced by the country. Mr Badal said that due to such
policies of the Congress the people of Punjab
along with other states have rejected the leadership of Congress adding that
the time is not far away when this party would be decimated from the Indian
polity.
Paying floral tributes
to Bhagwan Valmiki Ji Maharaj, the Chief Minister said that he was
the “Pitaamah” of Sanskrit language and first poet or the Adi Kavi of the world
who by his immortal and masterpiece composition the “Ramayana” propagated the
message of victory of good over evil. He also said that the great epic has from
centuries taught the way of living to the people and has been a lighthouse of
the ethical and moral living for the people which were far more relevant in the
present materialistic society. Mr Badal said that it was a matter of great
pride for all of them that sacred place where this great epic was composed lies
in the state adding that the state government has paid special attention
towards developing this place known as Ram
Tirath, which used to be the ashram of Bhagwan Valmiki Ji Maharaj, by
spending more then Rs 20 crores for its beautification.
Exhorting the people to
follow the path and high ideals shown by Bhagwan Valmiki Ji Maharaj,
the Chief Minister assured the people that the state government was ready to
take all possible steps for the development of the community. The Chief
Minister reiterated the
commitment of the state government for the overall welfare of the oppressed
sections of the society in line with the philosophy of
Bhagwan Valmiki Ji Maharaj to emerge an equalitarian and harmonious
society in the state. Mr Badal
also announced a grant of Rs 10 lakh for constructing Bhagwan Valmiki Bhawan in
the city for which land has already been allotted to Maharishi Valmiki Trust.
Prominent amongst those
present on the occasion included Chief Parliamentary Secretary Mr Sarup Chand
Singla, MLA Darshan Singh Kotfatta, Special Principal Secretary to the Chief
Minister Mr KJS Cheema, Deputy Commissioner Mr Kamal Kishore Yadav, MC Mayor Mr
Bajeet Singh, President of Maharishi Valmiki Trust Mr Arjun Singh and Chairman
Mr Naveen Kumar.
