"Severely attacking Captain Amarinder Singh, the Deputy Chief Minister S.

The Deputy Chief Minister further said that the ex-Chief Minister didn't take a single step for the welfare of farmers during his 4.5 years of rule and chose to be hand in glove with the same anti-farmer party BJP after being removed," reads the release.

Calling the Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi People's CM, the MLA (Zira) Kulbir Singh Zira said that the Chief Minister has transformed the face of Punjab by undertaking development centric measures at a rapid pace. (ANI)
