Punjab news: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Thursday asked the chief minister, Captain Amarinder Singh, to resign on moral grounds after candidly admitting he had failed to end the drug menace in Punjab and provide employment to youth by trying to sidestep from the oath he took in the name of the holy Gutka Sahib and the ‘charan’ of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. The SAD also lambasted the chief minister for his point-blank refusal to reduce power tariff rates for both the domestic and the industrial sector, admitting that the government would not implement the Rs 2,500 per month unemployment allowance to youth.

The Shiromani Akali Dal leader also said it was unfortunate that Captain, who had promised to waive off farmer loans amounting to Rs 90,000 crore, was taking credit for a marginal Rs 4,700 crore waiver which did not even cover the penalty imposed on farmers for not paying their loan installments believing the loans would be waived off.
