Chandigarh, March 13 -- Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar on Thursday said the ruling AAP and opposition Congress were working in tandem in the assembly to divert attention from key public issues. Talking to reporters, Jakhar said the two parties have a tacit understanding under which the opposition avoided raising people's issues and instead staged walkouts while the government continued to pass resolutions contrary to public welfare. Jakhar said a special assembly session was convened in July 2025 to bring a law on sacrilege, but even after seven months, the government has not approved a draft of the proposed legislation. If the government was serious about the issue, it should present the draft law during the current session, he said, adding that justice is still awaited in cases related to sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib. Citing reports, the BJP leader said PRTC buses were being sent to Palsana in Rajasthan's Sikar district for body fabrication and painting in AAP colours. The work is being carried out by Rex Pipe and Cable Industries Ltd, he said, claiming that individuals linked to the company were instrumental in installing bus bodies during the previous Congress government. The CM had earlier spoken about corruption in that case, yet no action has been taken against the former Congress minister concerned. Instead, the issue appeared to be turning into another scam involving both old and new players, he said. Jakhar dared leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa to raise the matter in the assembly. Attacking the government over the mining sector, Jakhar cited official figures to claim that the state earned Rs.21.7 crore as royalty from legal mining but collected Rs.79.29 crore as fines from illegal mining. He said another Rs.89.23 crore was also shown as recovered, though its source was unclear. These figures indicated that illegal mining was taking place on a much larger scale than legal mining, he said, accusing the government of allowing it under its patronage....
