Punjabis losing faith in AAP govt: Chugh
LUDHIANA: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national general secretary Tarun Chugh claimed that the Aam Aadmi Party has lost the faith of the people of Punjab.
“Instead of working for the betterment of the state, they are busy in projection politics. Crores of rupees from the state’s exchequer are being spent on advertisements in poll-bound states while no policy has been formed to revive the state’s dwindling economy,” he said.
He added that the AAP government, which claims to be pro-farmers, is sending auction notices to the houses of the debtridden farmers.
While addressing a conference at the circuit house, Chugh accused AAP of creating a divide in society by giving free electricity to Dalits while the general category has been ignored.
“After winning the elections, chief minister Bhagwant Mann had promised to end vendetta politics and said there will be no FIR against people who are opposed to AAP. But merely a month into power, the CM, on the direction of his boss sitting in Delhi, has got cases registered against Hindi poet Kumar Vishwas
and Congress leader Alka Lamba, both once close aides of AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal,” said Chugh.
BJP leaders meet Punjab affairs in-charge, discuss strategy for civic polls CHANDIGARH: : A Punjab BJP delegation on Friday met state party affairs in-charge and the party’s Rajya Sabha MP Dushyant Gautam to discuss strategy for the upcoming civil body polls.
