Arvind Kejriwal playing victim card: Shiromani Akali Dal

Abohar, February 18

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal today said Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal had admitted that his party was facing an imminent defeat and was now crying wolf about political parties ganging up against him even though the truth was that Punjabis were consolidating as one in favour of the SAD-BSP alliance which was marching towards a historic victory.

Addressing the last meeting in Abohar, the SAD chief said playing with the sentiments of Punjabis by projecting himself as a victim would not help Arvind Kejriwal or the AAP. Asserting that the SAD-BSP alliance was committed to developing the border belt, Badal said: “We will come out with an industrial package to give a fillip to youth employment .” He also announced that Rs 3,000-crore pipe installation project would be undertaken to ensure adequate water reaches every field in the border area.
