Chandigarh, February 28: Commenting on the claims made by senior Congress leaders about the continuous weakening of their party, with some MLAs also questioning the non-working of the Congress government in Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) stated that it has exposed the reality of where the Congress party stands.
In a statement issued from the party headquarters, AAP’s state president and MP Bhagwant Mann said that the Congress party was fighting only for the sake of power and they do not care about the people.
He said that after the Congress leaders from Punjab, the senior leaders of the national leadership had now raised their voice against the party high command, which shows that the Congress was a party of lies, which was incapable of working and living up to the expectations of the people.
Taking a dig at the Congress party, Mann said that the Congress party had been fighting for several days on the issue pertaining to the Chief Minister’s face. Mann said that on the one hand, Congress president Sunil Jakhar declared that Captain Amarinder Singh would be the CM face of the Congress party in 2022 elections; while on the other hand, the leaders of their own opposing faction were saying that the party high command will decide the face of the Chief Minister.
“The Congress party is busy in a mutual fight. They do not care about the people of Punjab and are only fighting for power among themselves. This fight is very deadly for Punjab and its people,” he added.
He said that the Congress was spending so much time fighting amongst themselves and for their CM’s face, and if they would have spent this time working for the people and making policies for their welfare, it would have been better for Punjab.
Slamming Captain Amarinder Singh for not doing anything for the people of Punjab, Mann said that in the last 4 years, the Captain-led Congress government had not fulfilled any of their promises. He said that Captain and his Congress leaders had played with the hope and expectations of the people, due to which there was a lot of anger among the masses.
“Different ideologies along with the mutual fight of Congress leaders and their MLAs admitting the failures of their own party exposed the inability of Captain government which has not done anything in 4 years,” said Mann.
He said that the question raised by Congress MLA Pargat Singh on his own government recently had also proved the failure of the Captain government for not living up to the expectations of the people and not doing anything for the state during its four years in power.
Mann said that today every section of Punjab was saddened by the negligence opted by Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh while sitting on a chair of an important responsibility.
Mann said that Captain Amarinder had promised the people of Punjab before the assembly elections in 2017 to end the mafia rule, waive all debts of the farmers, eradicate drugs from Punjab in four weeks, give jobs to the unemployed and other big promises were made, but as soon as Captain came to power, he forgot everything, neglected the people and betrayed them.
He said that Captain Amarinder had not been able to get a single day in four years to listen to the problems of the people, but was busy sitting with his friends in his royal farmhouse. Mann said that the Aam Aadmi Party had been exposing this poor performance of the Captain’s government in the Vidhan Sabha and in the court of the people.
He said that just like the Congress had been wiped out in the other states of the country, in the 2022 assembly elections, it will be wiped out from Punjab too.
