Alleging AAP of distracting people, the PPCC chief said instead of concentrating on the development, the AAP leadership was busy shielding the corrupt and emptying the state exchequer for self-promotion.

The meeting was attended by party leaders and workers from various districts. The district presidents stressed the importance of unity and cooperation within the party cadre and leadership.
