Treasury is never empty, it's 'will of the State Government' which is blank: Sukhbir Singh Badal

Shiromani Akali Dal led by its President Sukhbir Singh Badal on Tuesday staged a protest against the Congress government over various burning issues of the State, including the school fees and hike in petrol and diesel prices. While addressing the dharna in Zirakpur, Derabassi, Sukhbir Singh Badal said that Captain Amarinder Singh doesn't deserve to be called Chief Minister. He revealed that he had written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding a CBI inquiry in the distribution of food grains in the state. The SAD president said that "Why is the treasury empty? The Treasury is never empty, it's the 'will of the State Government ' which is blank. We never said that our Khazana is empty." "I have also written to PM Modi on the hike of petrol and diesel prices as well," he said. Sukhbir Singh Badal also said that he attended the All-Party Meeting called by Captain Amarinder Singh. "I said, Captain Sahab, let's reduce the price of fuel by Rs 10 in Punjab. Let's go to Delhi and protest there and reduce the fuel price," he said.
