Rahul Gandhi would be a misfit as PM: Badal

New Delhi: Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said Rahul Gandhi would be a "complete misfit" as Prime Minister because he was unaware of the basics of agriculture and village life of the majority

Attacking Congress for its step-motherly treatment to the state, Badal said instead of rewarding Punjabis for their contribution in making the country self-reliant in food production, Congress governments had adopted a discriminatory posture toward them.

Badal rued that farmers of the state were reeling under a whopping debt of Rs 32,000 crore.

Slamming the Centre, he said Punjabis could never forget how Congress had denied the state its capital, a legitimate share in river waters, Punjabi-speaking areas in neighbouring states besides irrelevantly meddling in its social, political, economic and even religious affairs.

He also said that mass exodus of industry was taking place due to denial of economic package to Punjab on the lines of those given to neighbouring Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
