Every third promise fulfilled: Finance Minister

Date:

Muktsar, January 15: Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal today announced some projects for this historic town, which included the release of first instalment of funds for the construction of a railway over bridge on the Jalalabad road, upgrading a stadium and Panjab University’s Regional Centre here.

In town to pay obeisance at Sri Muktsar Sahib gurdwara on the occasion of Maghi, Manpreet also announced the repair of memorial gates built on the outskirts of the town and Mukte Minar.
Those accompanied him included Deputy Speaker Ajaib Singh Bhatti, Gidderbaha MLA Amrinder Singh Raja Warring and former Muktsar MLA Karan Kaur Brar.

Replying to queries, Manpreet said the state government had fulfilled 125 of the total 428 promises listed in the poll manifesto, which had no financial implications, in the first go. “The Congress government is doing its best to bring the state’s economy back on track. From our fourth Budget onwards, the state will become revenue surplus,” he claimed.

About the Congress not holding the conference this year, he said: “Religious functions should be free from politics. The Congress had followed the directive of Akal Takht by not holding any conference at Shaheedi Jor Mela and now at Muktsar.”
