He termed the one-day session of the Vidhan Sabha called by the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab against the termination of the MGNREGA scheme as an act of eyewash . He said that the state government could provide only 38 days of employment in a year under the MGNREGA scheme.
He said that the people of Punjab have given a chance to four parties to get power in the last 75 years and appealed that the Bahujan Samaj Party should be given a chance now to save the present generation of Punjab.
He appealed to the people to be part of the Punjab Sambhalo campaign launched by the Bahujan Samaj Party.
