Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu blamed the previous governments led by Parkash Singh Badal and Amarinder Singh for leaving the state with a heavy debt burden.

Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Thursday targeted former chief ministers Parkash Singh Badal and Amarinder Singh for allegedly "looting" the state over the last 25 years.

He blamed the previous governments led by Mr Badal and Mr Singh for leaving the state with a heavy debt burden.

"For 25 years, two chief ministers looted Punjab," said Mr Sidhu while addressing a gathering in Sanaur.

"They (Parkash Singh Badal, Amarinder Singh) left the state in such a situation that the youth do not want to stay here," he alleged, referring to youngsters' preference to go abroad.
