LUDHIANA – Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu said the state government was trying to hide the deeds of Bikramjit Singh Majithia by getting Congress MLA Amarinder Singh Raja named by Mansa SSP in a case of drug-peddling.
He was speaking during a dharna organised by Congress members against drug menace and power cuts in the state. The dharna was organised at the mini secretariat.
Bittu said the government first got the youth addicted to drugs. Now, those in the government were sending banned medicines manufactured at their factories to get the youth addicted to these.
He said the state government was in financial mess. Around 70 per cent of the loans being taken by the government were being used to repay the loans taken earlier. Financial crunch had hit coal supply to thermal power plants in the state, he added.

He alleged it was primarily due to lack of effective opposition that the Congress missed the chance to form the government in 2012 and suffered a decrease of poll percentage and seats in the recent Lok Sabha polls.
