"When SAD forms a government in the state, we will ensure that this demand is converted into an achievement," he said.

Badal said that SAD will do anything for the farmers because they are the backbone of Punjab's economy. He said that people and farmers want the state to be declared a principal market area.

"But bills which were brought by the Amarinder Singh Government carried none of these provisions. He is guilty of misleading and betraying the trust of the House," said Badal

The former Deputy Chief minister alleged "a deep-rooted and devious conspiracy between the BJP and Captain Amarinder Singh against the farmers". (ANI)
