AAP govt playing with people’s lives by diverting primary health services from 50 % of State- Bikram

Chandigarh (Gurpreet) Senior Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government was playing with the lives of people by diverting primary health services from 50 per cent of the State’s population to indulge in a PR exercise to revive the party’s sinking ship in Punjab. Addressing a press conference here, Mr Bikram Majithia said the entire exercise had the makings of a massive scam and demanded an independent probe into the issue. He also disclosed that the SAD would approach Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit soon and urge him to order a probe into the scam, besides directing the Aam Aadmi Party not to use government schemes to project itself.

The SAD leader also registered a strong protest at the manner in which the names of five satellite centres established in the memory of the Panj Pyaras in 1999 during the 300th anniversary celebrations of the birth of the Khalsa by former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, had been defaced by putting chief minister Bhagwant Mann’s picture along with the nomenclatural of Aam Aadmi Clinic. He said even after strong protests registered by the sangat, the AAP government had only added the names of the Panj Pyaras in a strip with the focus still remaining on the chief minister‘s picture.
