The SAD president and Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal has thrown his weight behind the Prime Minister-elect, Dr Manmohan Singh, saying that his party hopes that the Prime Minister will be able to tackle internal and external problems facing the country.

The Punjab government, he has said, will offer constructive co-operation on issues such as fighting poverty, illiteracy, unemployment and inequality, besides addressing socio-cultural and human issues like fighting threats to environment and communal harmony as well as eradicating evils like female foeticide, drug menace, etc.

Sukhbir said, “The larger interests of the country and the welfare of the people will solely guide the SAD in its role as the opposition party”.

According to CM's media adviser Harcharan Bains, Sukhbir will call on the Prime Minister to convey his and his party's best wishes as soon as he is free from his present government-formation preoccupations.

Bains said the Deputy Chief Minister had assured the Prime Minister that "despite the differences in our political perceptions, we hold you in the highest personal esteem and hope that your second term in the country's highest executive office will be marked by concrete initiatives on addressing the problems facing the people in general and Punjabis in particular."
