The remarks came in the aftermath of a ‘blast’ at a police check post building in Batala. Speaking at a campaign event for SAD district president Bhupinder Singh Bhinda, who is contesting the municipal corporation (MC) elections from ward number 60, Majithia accused the AAP of ‘exploiting’ the state’s resources for electoral gains in other states.
Pointing to the deteriorating health of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, 70, whose hunger strike at the Khanauri border entered 24th day on Thursday, Majithia said if farm leaders suffer any loss, Centre and state government is directly responsible.
He said chief minister Bhagwant Mann has ‘good relations’ with the Bharatiya Janata Party, which he why he always “saves his skin in alleged excise policy scam“.
