In his address, the CM launched a scathing attack on the Akali Dal and the Congress and said the Congress-Akali leaders built big palaces for themselves and amassed property worth billions of rupees using the money that was supposed to be spent on education of children of general public and medicines for the elderly.
The CM also slammed Congress leader and former industries minister Shyam Sundar Arora and said in a raid at his house, apart from papers of property worth crores, a note counting machine was also found. “The meaning is clear that while being the industries minister, he used to collect large amounts of money from the industrialists of Punjab,” he said.
