Chandigarh, Oct 15: Throwing an open challenge to Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh on the "corruption" charges levelled by him, Shiromani Akali Dal president Prakash Singh Badal asked him to prove the allegations instead of crying hoarse on the issue. "His yesterday's outburst to incarcerate me is nothing but his irrationality and frustration for his (Amarinder) failure to give good governance to the masses", Badal told reporters here.
He claimed that Amarinder's approach had made his own partymen to raise the banner of revolt against his leadership.
"Now his lust to have control over the SGPC has made him all the more impudent," the former chief minister said.
Terming Amarinder Singh as "power intoxicated", Badal said "Amarinder is out to commit historic blunder by entering into direct confrontation with the Khalsa Panth for establishing his control over the SGPC, which would prove detrimental to him."
Sounding a note of warning to Amarinder to desist from alleged unnecessary interference in the religious affairs of the Sikhs in connvinace with the panthic traitors, Badal said "despite all the might of the state machinery at his command, Amarinder would not be allowed to succeed in nefarious designs to wrest control over the Sikh shrines."
