Five ministers contesting Lok Sabha elections should resign immediately: Sukhbir Singh Badal

Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal has demanded the resignation of five ministers of the Aam Aadmi Party government contesting the Lok Sabha elections. He said that the absence of ministers from their offices for two and a half months after the election will stop the administrative work.

All the ministers contesting the elections have major departments, including the ministries of agriculture, transport, health etc. Badal said that people should ask these ministers what works they have done for public welfare in the last two years.

It is worth noting that the Aam Aadmi Party has fielded Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal from Amritsar, Minister Laljit Bhullar from Khadur Sahib, Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian from Bathinda and Minister Dr. Ticket has been given to Balbir Singh.

Sukhbir Badal took further aim and said that the present AAP government has done only one thing of giving debt to Punjab, impoverished Punjab by taking a loan of one lakh crore rupees and spent most of this money on the expansion of AAP in other states.
