Chandigarh,
May
28:
Punjab
Lok
Congress
chief
spokesperson
Pritpal
Singh
Balliawal
on
Saturday
said
his
party
chief
Amarinder
Singh
will
meet
Chief
Minister
Bhagwant
Mann
soon
and
share
with
him
the
names
of
former
ministers
and
legislators
who
were
allegedly
involved
in
illegal
sand
mining
and
other
corrupt
practices.

A
few
days
ago,
Punjab
Lok
Congress
chief
and
former
chief
minister
Amarinder
Singh
had
said
he
was
ready
to
reveal
the
names
and
give
other
details
of
all
former
ministers
and
MLAs
who
were
allegedly
involved
in
corrupt
activities,
including
illegal
sand
mining,
during
his
tenure.

The
former
chief
minister’s
remark
came
in
response
to
former
minister
Sukhjinder
Singh
Randhawa’s
statement
that
the
state
government
should
order
the
Punjab
Police
to
interrogate
him
to
get
the
names
of
former
ministers
and
MLAs
involved
in
corrupt
practices
during
his
regime.

On
May
26,
the
ruling
Aam
Aadmi
Party
in
Punjab
had
asked
both
Amarinder
Singh
and
Randhawa
to
make
public
the
proof
of
the
involvement
of
the
then
Congress
ministers
in
corruption.

In
a
video,
PLC
chief
spokesperson
Balliawal
said
Amarinder
Singh
and
his
wife
and
MP
Preneet
Kaur
would
soon
meet
CM
Mann
and
would
raise
the
issue
of
development
funds
for
Patiala
being
stopped.

“The
issue
of
names
of
former
ministers
and
ex-MLAs
involved
in
illegal
sand
mining
will
be
discussed
in
the
meeting.
And
the
names
of
those
who
indulged
in
illegal
mining
and
looted
Punjab
will
also
be
revealed,”
claimed
Balliawal.

He
claimed
that
the
former
chief
minister
had
given
the
names
of
the
alleged
corrupt
leaders
to
the
Congress
high
command
but
it
did
not
take
action.

Amarinder
Singh
was
made
to
resign
as
the
chief
minister
last
year
by
the
Congress.
Later,
Singh
quit
the
Congress
and
floated
his
own
party.
