AAP, BJP engage in war of words over Anurag’s remarks

JALANDHAR: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) engaged in a war of words after Union minister for information and broadcasting and youth and sports affairs Anurag Thakur held AAP, the biggest reason for the plight of Punjab.

AAP spokesperson Malvinder Kang said the opposition parties and their leaders didn’t have any actual issues because all they know is “politics of hatred,” “The ruling AAP government took transparent action whenever there were any allegations of corruption against any AAP MLA or the minister but on the other hand, the BJP welcomed corrupt and criminals to their fold. We even sacked our ministers but BJP didn’t even sack Ajay Mishra Teni, whose son murdered farmers,” Kang said.

Kang reminded the BJP leader that the people of Punjab have not forgotten about farm laws or the farmers’ agitation. “On what moral ground Anurag Thakur is questioning AAP when BJP gave ticket to the family of Kuldeep Sengar who was convicted rapist and murderer, freed the rapists of Bilkis Bano,” Kang alleged.

Union minister Anurag Thakur said both AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann had talked about destroying the drug trade but it is destroying the future of Punjab’s youth
