SAD dubs AAP exercise to pick CM nominee 'phoney'
Chandigarh January 18
The SAD today dismissed as “phoney puppet show” the AAP exercise of staging a “mock tele-poll” to elect its chief ministerial face in Bhagwant Mann.
Celebrations break out in Sangrur
- AAP supporters celebrated after Bhagwant Mann was named as the CM candidate of the party
- Residents of Satauj, the native village of Mann, also celebrated
“AAP has elected its first phoney CM face. Now, let Punjab elect its real CM. As Arvind Kejriwal had always wanted to remote-control Punjabis from Delhi, one must say this phone idea was brilliant, but only for controlling the AAP’s internal circus,” tweeted Harcharan Bains, principal adviser to SAD chief Sukhbir Badal.
Bains said the AAP convener had confessed that 2.23 crore of the 2.41 crore phone users in Punjab remained indifferent to the “AAP hoax”, and only 21 lakh responded, that too if Kejriwal’s claims were to be believed. “And even more shameful and humbling must have been the revelation that many of these AAP supporters also rejected all AAP leaders and opted for someone from another party,” he added. —
