Liquor biz rose during Balbir Sidhu's term: Kulwant Singh

Mohali, January 21

The tenure of Congress MLA and liquor businessman Balbir Singh Sidhu only saw either drugs reaching villages of Mohali or the MLA registering false cases against youths in villages.

This was alleged by AAP candidate from the Mohali constituency and former Mayor Kulwant Singh while addressing election meetings in Kambala, Kambli, Papdi, Chachumajra and Kurdi villages today. He said instead of raising the level of education in the area, Sidhu increased the business of alcohol and opened liquor shops despite opposition from the local people.

Kulwant Singh said women of the villages were facing a lot of trouble due to these liquor vends and registration of alleged fake cases against the youths. In the coming elections, the Congress candidate would have to bear the brunt of these ‘excesses’, he said. —
