‘OSD consultants mingled with mining mafia’
Tejal Gyan Chandigarh:
Prominent Sikh farmer leader, National Delegate of All India Jatt Mahasabha and President of the Chandigarh unit of the Mahasabha, Sh. Rajinder Singh Badheri has said that Capt. Amarinder Singh’s ship will be sunk by his own advisers. He said that today the Chief Minister of Punjab was facing embarrassment only due to bad advisors and the appointments of retired officers.
Releasing a statement to the press here today, Mr. Badheri said that on June 8, 2006 at 4 pm, the then Governor of Punjab, SF Rodriguez, in the presence of Sardar Ravi Inder Singh, had advised to remove the then Chief Minister’s Adviser Bharat Inder Singh Chahal and also mentioned clearly that If you want to win the Assembly Elections of 2007, remove Bharat but the captain did not agree. Even now, Bharat and Sandeep Sandhu are sinking the Congress party. The Jatt Maha Sabha played a pivotal role in the formation of the Captain’s Government in 2017. It is worth mentioning that on June 8, 2006, Captain and Sardar Ravi Inder Singh went to Raj Bhavan to meet Governor Rodriguez on the issue of pardon of Sandeep Singh, son of Sardar Teja Singh Dhillon’s uncle.
Mr. Badheri said that earlier Bharat Inder Chahal had brought defamation and even now Bharat Inder Chahal is in charge of Vigilance and Excise and Taxation Department and the Department is being misused. It is now rumored that the Captain-Badal agreement was mediated by Arvind Khanna and Bharat Chahal before the 2012 Assembly elections.
S. Badheri also asked Captain Amrinder Singh to start meeting the MLAs and Ministers as well as the poor people of Punjab who have been asking for time to meet him since March 16, 2017. The office-bearers and activists of All India Jatt Maha Sabha are also seeking time to meet you, who had supported you during retirement in June 2013 and rejuvenated your position and they allowed you to enter Punjab. You have not attended any of the meetings since September 30, 2015. On November 26, 2015, when you became the President of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee with the support of the Jatt Maha Sabha, you stopped even naming the Jatt Maha Sabha.
Mr. Badheri also said that Ankit Bansal was a child at the time and he had no knowledge of these things. Now, those who are child counselors and OSDs have no special understanding of politics. These OSD children are ridiculed by the public as ‘hollow brokers’, who are flatterers of two or three senior advisers and whose wrong advice and wrongdoing is causing humiliation to Capt. Amarinder Singh.
Farmer leader Badheri further said that Capt. Amarinder Singh had betrayed Sardar Ravi Inder by making a pact with the Badals and had betrayed the Sikh community and Punjabis. These advisers have been dividing Congress and Jatt Maha Sabha leaders for gossiping and fabricating lies and playing the role of widening the distance with the captain.
Mr. Badheri alleged that the OSD consultants are mingled with mining mafia. Ankit Bansal’s position is purely childish. Mr. Badheri said “I have been a follower of the captain since 1984, so I am saddened by his plight.”
