Hailing budget by Sukhbir brazen sycophancy: Punjab CM Amarinder Singh

Ridiculing Sukhbir Badal’s remarks welcoming the Union Budget as pro-farmer and pro-poor, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Sunday termed it a case of brazen sycophancy with nothing to substantiate the tall claims of the Akali chief. The Chief Minister wondered what Sukhbir had found to be positive for the farmers in the budget, which even agriculture experts and farmer bodies had rejected as totally bereft of any initiative to save the agrarian sector. While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was blinded by power and could not see the problems faced by the farmers, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president was apparently so blinded by his sycophant love for the ruling party that he could see nothing wrong in their actions, said Amarinder Singh in a statement.
