BJP leader Tarun Chugh today criticised Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh for allegedly threatening the state government officers.
Referring to Singh's reported threat to District Transport Officers (DTOs) and police officials, Chugh said he was neither the Chief Minister nor the state government officers were answerable to him.
"Congressmen have pampered you so much that you've forgotten you are no more a royal person but a common man living in a democratic setup," Chugh said.
He said the state government officers enjoy some rights which are protected under the law.
Singh served Punjab from 2002 to 2007 as a "royal ruler" and not only the state government officers but also the people of the state know that he was seldom available for their problems, Chug alleged.
Singh had yesterday alleged that some deputy commissioners, DTOs and policemen were trying to harass the transporters who have agreed to provide buses for ferrying Congress workers for the December 15 Bathinda rally, and warned them of action when his party forms government.
