The Bargari case is getting delayed due to the CBI’s refusal to hand over the investigations and return the case file, the Chief Minister said during a Video Conference with the PYC president Birender Dhillon and his team.

The false propaganda being spread by the Opposition on the issue needed to be countered effective, he stressed, urging the youth leadership to take this and other matters of importance to the government to the people at the grassroots.

The state government had fulfilled 435 of the 562 promises listed in the Congress 2017 poll manifesto, and was well on track to implement the rest in the current term, Captain Amarinder pointed out, adding that such government achievements needed to be effectively communicated to the people and the officer to be designated for this purpose would serve as a one-point source of information for PYC.

Responding to the concern expressed by the youth Congress representatives on delay in fulfilment of the Smart Phones promise, the Chief Minister said the first batch of 50000 smart phones had arrived from the company, which had now clarified that it had no connection with China.

These would be distributed first among girl students of government schools of Class XI and XII, with priority to those who do not have smart phones so that their online learning can be facilitated amid the Covid crisis.
