Chandigarh, March 25: Clarifying her previous statement on the Punjab budget, Leader of Opposition Rajinder Kaur Bhattal today stuck to her guns, reiterating that the state budget was a fraud with the people of the state and the figures in it were fudged.
She, in a statement here, said, the entire party stood by what Punjab Congress President Capt Amarinder Singh spoke on the budget in the Assembly.
“There is no question of my saying it was a mistake to boycott the budget debate,” she clarified.
“It was a conscientious decision of the party to boycott the debate on budget and there were no two opinions about that,” she said, while adding, Amarinder spoke for the party and not just for himself in the Assembly.
