Dera Baba Nanak, February 16:
Senior Congress leader S. Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has put the Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal in the dock and branded AAP as the sworn foe of Punjab, Punjabi, Punjabiat, farmers as well as the river waters of the State.
In a scathing attack, S. Randhawa said that the AAP leaders of Delhi are venturing in Punjab like freebooters and their silence on various issues such as river waters of Punjab besides Punjabi speaking areas and paddy straw burning, is very dangerous. Kejriwal has already stabbed Punjab in the back by supporting the claim of Delhi and Haryana hence the AAP supremo must come out clean on these issues, said Randhawa.
The Deputy Chief Minister further pointed out that why didn’t Kejriwal who is now promising moon to the Punjabis, implemented his tall promises in Delhi. He also divulged that whereas Punjab is No. 1 in the National rankings in Education sector, in Delhi many patients suffered from the lack of adequate oxygen during Covid-19 pandemic thereby loosing their lives with many more coming to Punjab for treatment. So, the much hyped bubble of Health and Education model of Delhi burst.
The Congress candidate from Dera Baba Nanak also added that Kejriwal didn’t inducted even a single Sikh and woman in his council of Ministers which lays bare his mentality. In Punjab too, Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann played a devious game by ousting the several towering founding fathers of AAP from the party one by one.
The Congress party in Punjab undertook several pathbreaking steps viz. 50 percent reservation to the women in the Panchayats and the Municipalities apart from ensuring free travel facility to them in the Government buses. Now, the people of Punjab won’t fall prey to the false promises of AAP and would put the party in it’s place as they did in the last polls.
