The finance minister raised four questions for Harsimrat Kaur Badal: “Can Bathinda MP explain why her party signed such a lopsided MoU? Can she inform the public as to why her party, which has been heading the Bathinda MC ever since the MC came into being, has been stalling the tenders every time? The Bathinda MP also asked the finance minister to tell people why he had not implemented the number one promise listed in his election manifesto for Bathinda assembly segment — to stop water-logging completely. Harsimrat further said that last month, the NDA government had sanctioned a Rs Rs 48 crore project under the AMRUT scheme for laying a new sewer line “to resolve all water-logging problems besides providing sewerage system to 5,000 houses in 16 new areas”. However, Manpreet stated that the Bathinda Municipal Corporation floated tenders in March regarding the Rs 48 crore AMRUT scheme.
