He said the State\u2019s financial situation was set to worsen in the coming months. \u201cThe AAP government has already borrowed Rs 1 lakh crore in last three years but has nothing to show by way of development or infrastructure building. Its efforts to borrow more money are hitting a road block as it has reached permissible limits besides indulging in financial mismanagement\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr Badal also spoke on how the law and order situation had gone from bad to worse. \u201cBusinessmen are facing extortion threats on a daily basis. Even social harmony is threatened with the State witnessing desecrations of statues of Baba BR Ambedkar\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile Ms Preeti Malhotra while speaking on the occasion said even though she had asked the AAP high command to implement it\u2019s promise to give Rs 1,000 per month to women the party flatly refused to so so. \u201cI was told that such false promises were made to win elections and it was not necessary to implement them\u201d. She also castigated the AAP government for giving all Chairmanships to outsiders besides failing to create any employment opportunities for the youth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior party leaders including Maheshinder Singh Grewal, Dr Daljit Singh Cheema, Amarjit Singh Chawla, Surmender Sira and SAD Ludhiana West candidate Parupkar Singh Ghumman, was also present on the occasion.
