CM, kin corrupt: Harsimrat 

Bathinda: Union Minister for Food Processing Harsimrat Kaur Badal today accused Capt Amarinder Singh and his family of being corrupt. She said the CM, his wife Preneet Kaur, his son Raninder Singh and now his son-in-law Gurpal Singh had all been named in various cases.“With his entire family embroiled in controversies, one wonders how the CM keeps his promise of rooting out corruption from the state,” she said, after flagging off the first Bathinda-Jammu flight which carried 36 devotees travelling to the Vaishno Devi shrine.The Jammu-Bathinda flight ferried 17 passengers on the first day. She announced that a flight to Hazur Sahib in Nanded will also be started soon from Bathinda.Later, while inaugurating a liaison office and training centre of the Indian Institute of Food Technology here, the minister said if the farmers wanted to increase their income, they would have to consider crop diversification.Former CM Parkash Singh Badal, who was present on the occasion, appreciated the efforts of the Central Government for opening employment avenues for people of Punjab, something that “the state government should have done but has failed”.
