Cong using Moose Wala’s name to seek sympathy votes: AAP

AAP candidate Gurmail Singh said the opposition is trying to ‘mislead the people of Punjab with their dubious claims’

SANGRUR: : Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Gurmail Singh on Tuesday lashed out at the opposition and claimed that the Akali Dal and Congress were in alliance and looted Punjab for decades.

Addressing ‘nukkad’ and door-to-door meetings at villages and towns in the constituency, Gurmail said that the opposition does not have any issue to target the AAP party and they are trying to “mislead the people of Punjab with their dubious claims”.

Accusing Congress state chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring of politicising the death of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, Gurmail alleged that Congress is misusing the name of the singer in each event during the campaigning of the Sangrur bypoll.

“Disregarding the appeal of grieving parents of Sidhu Moose Wala over using his name, Raja Warring in a public meeting on Tuesday again attempted to get sympathy votes on his death. It is very disheartening and condemnable,” Gurmail asked Congress to stop playing “dirty politics” over the slain singer’s death.

Attacking the Akali Dal for using the “panthic card” in the bypoll, he questioned SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal that why the Akali Dal had not raised the issue of Sikh prisoners when they had been running the government in Punjab as an alliance with the BJP during 20072017 besides being part of the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre from 2014 to 2021.

“The AAP government led by chief minister Bhagwant Mann has changed the political scenario in the state within just three months by combating corruption, drugs and the mining mafia being controlled by these leaders,” he said.

“Due to this, opposition leaders are now perturbed and joined together to run fake propaganda against the AAP government,” said Gurmail Singh.

He stated that he is contesting
