Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said Union ministers from Punjab should introspect the "wrong" policies of the UPA government at the Centre before seeking white paper on the fiscal condition of the state.
"The exchange value of Rupee against Dollar has touched its all time low and the prices of the essential commodities were sky rocketing, much to the dismay of common man".
"The UPA has failed miserably in safeguarding the interests of the country due to which it has lost the moral right to remain in power," he told reporters at an event here.
Making a scathing attack on the Union Ministers from the state, the Chief Minister dared them to list their achievements for bringing any project to Punjab.
"Union Ministers and the Congress leadership have been criticising the state government for the sake of criticism whereas it was a fact that the state has witnessed unparallelled development under SAD-BJP," he claimed.
The Chief Minister further accused the Congress-led UPA of meting out step motherly treatment to Punjab, saying it has destroyed the backbone of the state's industry.
