JALANDHAR: Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia has accused Punjab chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi of misguiding homeless people belonging to Scheduled Castes in the guise of giving them five marla plots. He said this act of the Punjab CM was similar to employment cards fraud.
“In 2017, just three months before the elections, then CM face of Congress, Captain Amarinder Singh had distributed complete loan waiver cards to farmers and employment cards for the unemployed under the Ghar Ghar Rozgar scheme, with the aim of luring people into the trap. Not only this, Captain had also promised of giving unemployment allowance to the cardholders till they get employment. But for four and a half years, Captain and the Congress did not even remember any of such cards,” he said while addressing a press conference on Saturday. He was in Jalandhar to participate in Balmiki Shobha Yatra.
“Now, like Amarinder, Channi has not only has completely forgotten the employment cards given by his party but has himself started playing the old game of distributing new cards,” said Sisodia.
Responding to a question regarding allotment letters given by Punjab CM for five marla plots, Sisodia said Channi had now started showing dreams of these plots to the homeless people of Punjab.
