CHANDIGARH: The Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today asked the Chief Minister as to where did he vanish away when he should be seen in Patiala to restore the confidence of people there.
“It is surprising that the Chief Minister is out of action, vanishing completely on a day when he should be the most visible and involved in the affairs of the state”, Warring said, while pointing out Mann’s absence from Patiala.
“We understand that yesterday you were scheduled to attend the Chief Ministers’ Conference in Delhi, but why you did not visit the city today?” he asked the Chief Minister, while taunting him, “or probably because your master is busy and away to Gujarat and you can’t take out a step outside or utter a word without his permission”.
The PCC president said, it bode ill for a sensitive state like Punjab that its Chief Minister was completely dependent on and subservient to someone else. “Even his prerecorded messages broadcast every now and then have an external imprint”, Warring said, while remarking, “Punjab cannot afford a Chief Minister who cannot act on his own and needs to be continuously programmed by someone else”.
