The SAD leader said this was not all. The Youth Congress plastered posters across the rally site with derogatory references to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. He said a State government function could not insult the office of the Prime Minister. “An inquiry should be ordered into this and due action should be taken”, he added. As per the letter, the State government first asked the Moga district administration to pay farmers for premature clearance of 100 acres of wheat crop for the rally site. He said State funds were also used for erecting the stage as well as rally site, for food, transport arrangements and entertainment charges. “This is a cruel joke on the farming community as well as other sections of society which could have been given the same relief to ease their misery”.  chief secretary SAD asks chief secretary to order inquiry into misuse of State funds Also Read: SAD asks Speaker to Extend Budget Session to 21 Working Days Dr Cheema also condemned the manner in which farmers were called for distribution of cheques to them but were made to sit for hours to listen to political speeches.
