A day after Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit criticised Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann over the latter’s absence from civic reception that he had hosted for President Droupadi Murmu, the Opposition parties on Sunday took a dig at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its leaders.
On October 8, Mr. Purohit took exception of Mr. Mann skipping the reception held for the President during her visit to Chandigarh. Unhappy with Mr. Mann’s absence, the Governor had said that “it was important to fulfil one’s constitutional responsibility”. Following this, Cabinet Minister Aman Arora reacted sharply, terming the remark as ‘uncalled for’ and urged the Governor “to restrain from making such statements in the future”.
Mr. Mann was on October 8 campaigning for the upcoming Assembly election in Gujarat for his party along with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
