Setting up the tone for next year’s parliamentary election, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday sharpened its attack on Opposition parties in Punjab.
Participating in the ‘Vikas Kranti’ rally in Hoshiarpur, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal blamed previous governments for ruining the State.
Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Punjab Chief Minister described him as a “master of phraseology” who, Mr. Mann said, had befooled the people during his entire tenure. He said the BJP promised to deposit ₹15 lakh in every account, which proved to be a sham. “Leave aside ₹15 lakh, the people of Gurdaspur Lok Sabha segment, which is adjoining Hoshiarpur, are waiting to see the face of their Member of Parliament Sunny Deol, who was elected on BJP ticket from the seat in 2019,” he said.
