Chandigarh, February 7
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab senior leader and Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema raised questions about PPCC President, Navjot Singh Sidhu’s stand on mafia now and asked will Sidhu stand with mafia, campaign for them and ask the people of Punjab to vote for mafia? He added that everyone knows Sidhu is friend of no one but power and that’s how he has managed to be the part of ruling parties in Punjab. Cheema said that Navjot Sidhu never stood by the people of Punjab.
In a statement issued from the party headquarters here on Monday, Harpal Cheema said, “From 2004 to 2016 Navjot Sidhu was a leader of Bharatiya Janata Party and Punjab has the government of SAD-BJP alliance in the state. Then since 2017 he has been an MLA and minister of ruling Congress party. Today the people of Punjab just have one question for Navjot Sidhu, after 15 years in power what Navjot Singh Sidhu has done for Punjab, the people of Punjab and for his MP constituency Amritsar or his MLA constituency Amritsar East.”
Harpal Cheema said that Punjabis are now well aware of garrulous nature of Navjot Singh Sidhu. “We all know he’s all talk and no action. He has been part of ruling government for the last 15 years, but still all he has been doing is talk. From time again we hear him claiming to be anti-mafia, anti-corruption and pro-Punjab. So, I challenge Navjot Sidhu to make public the names of Congress ministers who has been patronizing and running the mafia in Punjab.” He added that people don’t trust Navjot Singh Sidhu, one day he is saying that he is not a show piece, he’ll fight for the people of Punjab and won’t let mafia rule Punjab. Next day he’s sharing stage with all Congressmen alleged of corruption-mafia and singing praises for the same mafia.
Harpal Cheema claimed that the people of Punjab will see right through all the theatrics of Navjot Singh Sidhu and won’t waste their precious votes on Sidhu and Congress party. He added that people know Sidhu has and will always take side of the power not the common people. The only party that will form the corruption and mafia free, pro-people government in Punjab is Aam Aadmi Party. So, this time people of Punjab will form AAP government with huge majority.
