n Badal dares Capt to contest SGPC elections from any seat
n Bhattal derides Badal Government for its non-performance 
The state’s largest rural fair here saw Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Congress leaders indulging in mud-slinging and trading charges against one another. The SAD-BJP alliance put up a good show with supporters of almost all candidates for the SGPC elections bringing a large number of activists to the conference.
Reiterating that Congress leaders were interfering in the religious affairs of the Sikhs through leaders of the Panthic Morcha and the SAD (Longowal), Badal dared Punjab Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh to contest from any of the SGPC constituencies. He said the Congress leaders were rattled at a large number of organisations, including the Kisan Sabha, joined hands with the SAD.
“While the Congress leaders, including Capt Amarinder Singh, have only one agenda, that is to appease Sonia Gandhi, we are committed to following the tenets of Sikhism and according due recognition to the sacrifices made by those who laid the foundation of the Panth,” said Badal, adding the party had no place for “maharajas”.
