Punjab Deputy CM unveils urban development packages
The announcements made by Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal at Jalandhar to woo the urban voters ahead of next year's state Assembly polls are "too little too late", Congress today said. "The people of Punjab cannot be fooled by the tempting promises of Sukhbir Singh Badal which have no scope of being executed," Congress spokesman and Ludhiana MP Manish Tewari said at a meeting of party workers here. Sukhbir Badal had made series of announcements in Jalandhar yesterday, which were related to urban development in the state. Among the packages were grant of municipal corporation status for big cities like Moga, Phagwara and Pathankot, extending non-construction period of buildings up to 15 years and amnesty in payment of arrears of house tax, water supply and sewerage charges. Tewari claimed that for the last four and a half years the Akali-BJP government did nothing "except for looting and robbing the state of all its resources." The Congress leader said people know the real face of this government and such announcements at the fag end are not going to help.
