Punjab Assembly Elections 2022: 'lokaan di sarkar' says Capt Amarinder on CM Channi

"Three DGPS have been changed, his home minister has been openly accused in a cabinet meeting by his colleague that money was being taken for the posting of SSP, there was a tug of war on the AG's post... This is not 'lokaan di sarkar' but 'transfer-posting di sarkar', which has now also become 'suitcase di sarkar," he added.
