CHANDIGARH: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh today strongly criticized AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal for attempting to make a backdoor entry into the Rajya Sabha through Punjab, reducing Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to a mere puppet of Kejriwal’s Delhi team.
He said Kejriwal, who is currently out on bail for his alleged involvement in corruption cases in Delhi, is deceiving the people of Punjab just as Manish Sisodia had done.
Chugh said it is unfortunate that Punjab has been turned into a personal fiefdom (“jagir”) of Kejriwal. He added that the people of the state have been misled into accepting leaders with alleged criminal backgrounds, effectively turning Punjab into a puppet state after Kejriwal and his team lost credibility in Delhi.
Chugh also strongly objected to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s attempts to undermine the role of security forces in the successful execution of Operation Sindoor.
He further said the AAP government has effectively mortgaged Punjab to Kejriwal’s team — a deeply alarming development for the state.
