Navjot Singh Sidhu accuses Badal family of looting state exchequer

Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on Wednesday charged Badal family of looting the state, saying that they used the state's exchequer for their "personal benefits" in the late ten years.

While Speaking on the occasion of historical Chhapar mela, Sidhu said the tenure of SAD-BJP regime would be remembered as the period of "economic terrorism".

The previous regime gave the slogan of "Raj Nahi Sewa" (service not rule) but acted quite contrary to it, the minister said.

The Badal family used the exchequer of Punjab during the previous 10 years for its "personal benefit" to such an extent that has left the state and its people in dire straits financially, Sidhu alleged.

He also alleged that with a view to monopolise every single business in the state, the Badal family looted Punjab to its "heart's content".
