Congress day dreaming of coming back to power: Parkash Singh Badal

MUKTSAR: Describing the SAD-BJP alliance in Punjab as "impeccable and everlasting", Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said Congress was day dreaming of coming back to power in the state by spreading rumours regarding fissures between Akali and BJP.

The Chief Minister, who was addressing a gathering on the occasion of Sikh festival of Maghi, said the alliance was firm as it was time and again cemented with love and mutual affection.

He said rumours of strained relations between ruling alliance partners was "just a figment of imagination" of the "frustrated leadership" of Congress, which was "dying" to grab power in the state.

Badal said the state government had "thwarted" every move of the Congress to divide people on religious lines.

The Chief Minister further said the NDA government at the Centre has revived the hope of resolution of long standing social, economic, political and religious issues concerning Punjab.
