Taking on the Congress also, Sukhbir Badal said that PPCC Chief Captain Amarinder Singh is a frustrated man as his dream of holding the reins of the state was shattered twice in 2007 and 2012 and he would meet a similar fate in 2017 too. He dared Captain to showcase even a single development centric project or the initiative undertaken by him during his tenure.
The statement further states: [l]ambasting both the parties for their anti-Punjab attitude, Sukhbir Badal said that these parties had left no stone unturned in defaming Punjab by branding its youth as drug addicts. He elaborated that police recruitment process is beginning on 5th July and the whole world would see that all candidates would come out clean. Making position clear, he said that not a single candidate during army recruitment one and a half years ago in Patiala was found positive in drug test which is a befitting reply to all those defaming Punjab only to gain political mileage.
