SAD has also promised to provide free education to children and grandchildren of farmers, who lost their lives while protesting the Centre바카라s new agriculture laws.
Ahead of the Punjab Assembly elections scheduled to take place early next year, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Friday promised to provide free education to children and grandchildren of farmers, who lost their lives while protesting the Centre바카라s recent agriculture laws.
Making the announcement on Twitter, SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal also promised to provide government jobs to kin of those farmers, who lost their lives during the ongoing agitation, if his party is elected to power in Punjab.
바카라Today, I assure Punjabis: Immediately after forming the govt in 2022, SAD-BSP will honour the martyrs of Kisan Andolan with one govt job per family, free education to their children & grandchildren till post-graduation & health insurance cover to the entire family,바카라 said Badal in a tweet.
However, his tweet was immediately criticised by Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, who claimed that his Congress-led government was already implementing the SAD바카라s promises in Punjab. Terming Badal바카라s promises as 바카라shameless바카라 attempts to 바카라befool바카라 farmers, Singh asked the former to check his facts before shooting through his mouth.
The SAD is contesting the 2022 Assembly polls in the state in alliance with the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
In a video posted on his Twitter handle, Badal said for the past seven months, farmers have been camping at the Delhi borders, demanding repeal of the 바카라black바카라 farm laws brought by the Modi government at the Centre.
He said more than 550 farmers have 바카라laid down바카라 their lives during this agitation.
If the SAD-BSP alliance comes to power, its first decision will be to provide government jobs to a family member of each farmer who died during the agitation, Badal said.
He also hoped that farmers would be victorious in their agitation against the three farm legislations.
Later, Chief Minister Amarinder Singh trashed Badal's announcements and termed them as a 바카라last-ditch바카라 effort to woo back the farmers whom his party had 바카라alienated바카라 over the farm laws.
바카라Do you think Punjab's farmers are fools to be taken in by your desperate statements,바카라 asked the chief minister.
바카라How do you propose to do something that has already been done,바카라 he further asked, adding that 바카라we had made these announcements while you were still busy conspiring with your political masters, the BJP, to destroy our farmers.바카라
Ridiculing Badal's 바카라pipe dream바카라 of the Akalis coming to power in Punjab, whose people he and his party had 바카라ruined바카라 during the 10 years of the SAD-BJP rule, the CM said with his 바카라frivolous바카라 promises, Badal has proved his total absence of any connect with the people on the ground.
His government is already giving a compensation of Rs 5 lakh to the family of the each farmer who died during the course of the agitation, the CM said.
Of the 237 Punjab farmers who had died so far during the ongoing agitation, families of 191 have already got the compensation totalling Rs 9,46,50,000, the CM said.
Compensation for the rest of the families is under process and will be paid long before the Akalis even finalise their campaign for the elections, he said in the statement.
The CM further pointed out that he had personally announced jobs for the kin of the dead farmers several months ago and the Revenue Department is in advanced stages of finalising the candidates.
