Launching an attack on the Aam Aadmi Party, the Opposition parties in Punjab including the Congress, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Punjab Lok Congress on Tuesday accused its national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of running Punjab by “remote control” and turning Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann into a “rubber stamp”.
Former Minister and senior SAD leader Daljeet Cheema said the people of Punjab were shocked that Mr. Kejriwal was holding meetings with the Punjab Chief Secretary and the State Power Corporation Limited. “The apprehension in the minds of people that the Punjab government would be run by remote from Delhi under AAP rule is proving to be true.”
