Chandigarh: The AAP has alleged that the BJP has turned politics into a marketplace where loyalty, ideology and public mandate are traded for power, using turncoat leaders as disposable pawns to advance its political interests.
Citing leaders such as Sunil Jakhar and Ravneet Singh Bittu as prime examples of what he termed the BJP's "use and throw" culture, senior AAP leader and Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema on Thursday claimed the saffron party lures opposition faces to manufacture an illusion of political growth in the state, only to marginalise them once their usefulness expires.
