Union Minister of State for Food Processing Industries Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti today said the problems of all sections of society, be it farming, industry or the service class, were not new, but created by the previous governments. “We are only trying to solve these problems created by our predecessors,” she said.

Jyoti was in the city along with Union Minister for Food Processing Industries Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal for laying the foundation stone of a mega food park at Ladhowal.

She alleged that during the Congress rule, farmers would always face shortage of urea, but the present government had provided neem-coated urea to every farmer.

She alleged that it was due to the faulty policies of the UPA government that the farmers were still suffering.

Taking on AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal, she claimed that Delhi was in bad shape and all AAP MLAs were facing one charge or the other. She claimed that AAP had no chance of winning the Punjab Assembly elections.
