Amritsar: United Akali Dal (UAD) chief Bhai Mohkam Singh has accused Punjab’s ruling alliance of Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) and Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) for playing out a political game of over the river water issue. He maintained that both the parties were trying to use this serious and sensitive issue to come out of their political crisis.

“By raising the issue of river water the BJP wishes to cool down the angry Jaat community of Haryana and restore party’s lost prestige in the neighbouring state” he said.

UAD chief claimed that the BJP and the SAD-Badal have entered into a “secret resolve”. Giving out detailed of (alleged) secret resolve, Bhai Mohkam Singh said that the BJP led Central government would deploy Central forces to ensure construction of SYL canal after a decision on the issue arrives in the Supreme Court of India. In response to it Badal Dal’s MP Harsimrat Badal would resign from the ministry she presently holds in the Central government of India. He said that even the Badal government may tender resignation to protest against construction of SYL and start an agitation to stop SYL in order to regain it’s lost credibility.

He, however, said that the Badal government would not able able to ‘mislead’ the people of Punjab this time.
