Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal on Sunday said it was shameful that Punjab, which had secured the number one rank in several parameters in the ease of business rankings during SAD-BJP tenure, had become a laggard State under the leadership of Captain Amarinder Singh and continued to be among the worst-performing States for the second year in running. publive-image The SAD president said the State had secured the 19th rank as per the Business Reform Action Plan 2019 rankings as compared to the 20th rank it had secured in the survey for the previous year. “This in stark contrast to the number one ranking achieved by the State in ease of setting up of business in 2015 and number one position secured for single-window reforms in 2016 during SAD-BJP tenure”

Stating that the latest rankings were a cause for concern for all Punjabis as the State had witnessed a fall from being the number one state in ease of business rankings after it came out with a new Industrial policy in 2013, Sukhbir Badal said even Punjab’s neighbours had outstripped the State. Sukhbir Singh Badal condoles passing away of Lachman Das Khanna “Himachal Pradesh has jumped from the 16th rank last year to the 17th rank while Haryana has been ranked 16th”. He said earlier in December 2019 Punjab had finished 13th out of 18 big States on the Good Governance Index (GGI).

Your fake claims of bringing in investment and holding a sham investment meet have been exposed. Investors have lost confidence to invest in Punjab under your leadership. The situation has become such that Punjab is now being ranked below erstwhile ‘bimaru’ States which has hurt Punjabi pride and prestige also”. -PTC News-
