CHANDIGARH, August 11: Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today took a jibe at the Aam Aadmi Party convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for promising to give Rs one thousand each to all women above 18 years of age in Gujarat.
“I want to ask Mr Kejriwal that before making a promise to Gujarati women is it not his moral responsibility to fulfill this promise first in Punjab”, he remarked in a statement here today.
Responding to Kejriwal’s promise made in Gujarat recently, Warring said, “I have learnt from the media reports that Arvind Kejriwal Ji is promising to ladies over 18 years in Gujarat, in a similar way he promised to Punjabi women, that if the Aam Aadmi Party forms government there (in Gujarat) it will give Rs 1000 to each of them”.
He urged the women of Gujarat to ask Kejriwal whether his government in Punjab has started giving Rs 1000 to ladies in Punjab, as promised, like he was promising now to them in Gujarat.
The PCC president said, the Gujarati people must verify and crosscheck everything in Punjab before they get carried away with fake and bogus promises of the AAP.
“Whether it is free electricity or Rs 1000 monthly stipend to women, the AAP has backed out on everything”, Warring said, while announcing that party leaders from the state will visit Gujarat and expose all the lies the AAP was trying to propagate there.
“Please do not get carried away by the full page advertisements in newspapers and hours of airtime on news channels as everything is purchased with the Punjabi taxpayers money”, he told the people of Gujarat, while warning them, “the Punjabis are feeling cheated and looted now, you may feel same way if you start believing him as Punjabis believed him earlier to their utmost regret and dismay now”.
