Senior AAP leader and Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema said the Channi government of the Congress was bent on ruining the agriculture of the state as the government of the specials, instead of common man, stating that both the policies and intentions of the Punjab government were the enemy of Punjab.
He said that the Congress government, which had claimed in writing on January 19, 2017 to waive the entire loan of about Rs 90,000 crore of the farmers-laborers; the debt has now increased to about Rs 1.5 lakh crore.
This includes loans raised from government, cooperative and private banks as well as from the unorganized sector.

Congress Punjab president Navjot Singh Sidhu is calling the government’s announcements a hoax.”
