“ Punjab and Punjabis have always stood by the nation whenever and wherever there has been a crisis. But today Punjabis themselves face a severe crisis because of the unprecedented floods. Almost one-third of the state lies submerged with houses and crops destroyed. It is a man-made tragedy caused by the Punjab government’s negligence…The SAD is engaged in helping the people, and when Punjab is facing a tragedy, the country goes to Vice-Presidential elections. People of Punjab are upset and angry with the state government and the Centre because neither Punjab nor the central government nor the Congress has come to help. The SAD represents the sentiments and voice of the people, therefore it has decided to boycott the poll.
