Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa,
Wahe Guru Ji Ke Fathe,
Punjab's election result are in. Badal 'Akali Dal'/BJP duo,the worst of the two evils,has won. BJP is the party of the worst scum on this earth,the Punjabi Hindu,the only group known to mankind that disowned its mother tongue.
One wonder what the sikh leader of the post partition Punjab gained by separating Himachal Pardesh and Haryana from Punjab. Look for five more years of Vendanti at Akal Takhat and worse nightmares to come in the name of Sikhi.
The new Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has four relatives in his 18-member cabinet.
For starters the key finance portfolio has gone to the CM’s nephew Manpreet Badal who edged out heavyweights like Kanwaljeet Singh, a former finance minister.
While nobody in the Akali Dal dares to question Badal, the opposition Congress is certainly not letting him off lightly.
“Badal has kept all important portfolios with himself. Had there been no pressure from the BJP they could have kept it all within his family,” said Rajpal Singh, Spokesperson, Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee.
Key portfolios
it is virtually a kitchen cabinet where decisions can be taken in Badal’s own home.
Badal’s son-in-law Adesh Pratap Singh Kairon will takeover food and civil supplies and Bikram Singh Majithia, the 31-year-old first timer whose sister is Badal’s daughter-in-law will get public relation and iT department.
Even distant relative Janmeja Singh Sekhon has bagged the irrigation portfolio.
The Akali Dal’s ally BJP is annoyed but has no choice but to be diplomatic.
“Allocation of portfolios is the prerogative of the Chief Minister. This is an internal matter of the Akali Dal. The BJP cannot interfere in it,” said Rajendra Bhandari, Spokesperson, BJP.
The kinship factor has won and the seniority issue, quite clearly, has been set aside.
