Chandigarh: Congress leader Amarinder Singh on Saturday promised to wipe out the drug menace from the state in four weeks after his party forms a government in the state.
Singh, who is likely to become the chief minister as Congress got absolute majority, also said in the first cabinet meeting 100 key decisions would be taken.
Addressing a crowded press conference here, Singh, who turned 75 today, reiterated his poll promise of tackling drug menace saying it will be among his immediate priorities.
He said every single person found guilty of destroying the lives of tens of thousands of youth would be brought to book. The use of drugs, by the youths, was a major issue in the Punjab elections.
Singh said he would also get probed the sacrilege incidents that had happened in parts of the state recently. "A meeting of the Punjab Congress legislature party has been called tomorrow," Singh, who was the chief minister of the state during 2007-2012, told reporters. He hit out at the SAD, saying it had brought the "state on its knees".
