Dasuya/Mukerian, Dec 20
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) state chief and MP Bhagwant Mann, while addressing public meetings in Dasuya and Mukerian, targeted the Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal on Monday.
When Congress leaders cannot stay together for 80 days, how will they keep Punjab together for five years and how Congress is asking people for a chance to rule for five more years? Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, Navjot Sidhu and other leaders, fight among themselves for a chair. Will these people improve the future of Punjab? Bhagwant Mann, State chief, Aam Aadmi Party
He said, “After 1966, the Congress ruled Punjab for 25 years and the Akalis for around 20 years. During their tenure, both the parties looted Punjab, but these people have hunger for money and politics.”
Criticising the ruling party, Mann said, “When Congress leaders cannot stay together for 80 days, how will they keep Punjab together for five years and how Congress is asking people for a chance to rule for five more years? Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, Navjot Sidhu and other leaders, fight among themselves for a chair. Will these people improve the future of Punjab?”
Launching a scathing attack on the SAD, Mann said, “Even today, Badal sahib comes on the stage and says give me one more chance.” He asked the senior Badal to give newcomers a chance.
“Panth and Punjab’s love has rekindled today as Sukhbir Singh Badal, who made the SAD a private company of the Badal family, was not in power,” said Mann.
He said youths were fleeing abroad so that they do not go astray. “Exercise your franchise for a better future. To clean the political mess in Punjab, press the ‘broom’ button once,” urged Mann.
