Taking a jibe at the growing dissension among Congress workers after the reconstitution of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC), SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal today said that it was due to the "huge price" fixed for different posts by state Congress chief Partap Singh Bajwa.
"I came to know that several Congress leaders are resigning every day after the announcement of the new PPCC... Some Congressmen told me that there is lot of dissension within the party as Bajwa had fixed high rates for getting plum posts in the PPCC," Sukhbir told media here.
Bajwa, however, dismissed Sukhbir's allegations and described the SAD leader as the "most corrupt politician."
"The Akali Dal's tenure is the most corrupt regime," Bajwa alleged daring Sukhbir to prove his allegations against him of taking money for granting posts to partymen in the PPCC.
"I have not taken a single penny... I am ready to pledge before the Golden Temple as well... But if Sukhbir can't prove his allegations he should step down," Bajwa dared.
