Chandigarh July 10
Reacting to the allegations being leveled by the opposition parties Congress and Akali Dal on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) regarding thermal plants of Punjab, AAP’s senior leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Punjab Assembly, Harpal Singh Cheema termed it ‘politically motivated’. In a statement issued here on Saturday, Cheema said that the Delhi government had not made any such appeal in the court. He said that the Akali Dal had sold the interests of the people of Punjab to the private companies, by making faulty power agreements. “Due to his collusion with the Badals, Captain Amarinder Singh never took any action regarding wrong power agreements reached during the Badal government,” he asserted. Cheema said that the Akali Dal and the Congress have the same agenda, that how to take power by misleading the people of Punjab, which the Aam Aadmi Party will never allow to be fulfilled. He said that the Delhi model will be implemented in Punjab after the formation of the AAP government, just as Arvind Kejriwal is providing cheap and 24-hour electricity to the people in Delhi.
