To ensure prompt redressal of public grievances, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today announced to hold 'Sangat Darshan' programme four days a week across the state.
Sangat Darshan programme has been a fruitful exercise as it brought the government virtually at the doorsteps of the people, he said at the headquarters of Jamaat-e-Ahmediyya here.
People have benefited from the programme as they were able to get their pending issues resolved immediately, the Chief Minister said.
Brushing aside Congress party's criticism about Sangat Darshan, Badal said the sole aim of the entire exercise is to further boost the ongoing development in the state.
He said the people of the state were "the masters of the government" and nobody, including the Congress leaders, could deter him for holding Sangat Darshan to ensure well being of people.
Badal said he would hold Sangat Darshan in the assembly segments of Doaba and Majha region each day, whereas another two days of week would be dedicated in assembly segments of Malwa region.
He asked Congress leaders to question their leadership at the Centre about the poor economic scenario of the country.
Attacking the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre, Badal said the Union government has failed on all the fronts.
He said the Union government has failed to make any attempt to check the fall of rupee against US dollar.
The grim fiscal situation of the country could be judged from the fact that even the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister had admitted that the Indian economy had "failed".
Expressing deep concern over the problems being faced by the Punjabi farmers in Gujarat and Haryana, Badal said that Akali Dal was committed to safeguard the interests of Punjabis anywhere in the world.
Attributing the problems faced by Punjabi farmers to the "wrong policies" of the Union government, he said that the Centre must legislate an Act to give uniform rights to people for purchasing land in any part of the country.
