Captain fought Corona in the best way in the country

I have seen the arrangements of different states all over the country and I can say that Captain Sarkar handled the situation in the best way. Apart from this, being a border state, the supply of arms and drugs from Pakistan through drones was also stopped.

Answer sought from Harsimrat Badal

Harsimrat Badal tell whether he opposed it in the cabinet?. Did he give any written note against it? He said that the Punjab government was the first to oppose this law.
Avoid Captain’s statement of not agitating in Punjab
MP Tiwari was asked that Captain Amarinder Singh asked the farmers not to agitate in Punjab? To this, Tiwari said that the Captain had told the Center that when 127 amendments have been made in the Constitution, then one more tax should be rejected. His statement was in this context. Tiwari did not give a direct response.
Center collected 25 lakh crore from petrol and diesel in 7 years
Tiwari said that the central government collected Rs 25 lakh crore from petrol and diesel in the last 7 years. All this money went from the pockets of the common people. The rate of petrol has crossed 100 and that of diesel has crossed 90. The most important thing is that 68% money was taken from the people as cess so that it does not have to be returned to the states. The central government, being the government of the opposition party, always adopted an anti-Punjab attitude.
