CHANDIGARH: Punjab Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-ruling legislator Narinder Kaur Bharaj has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of luring her with party ticket and fulfillment of any demand under 'Operation Lotus'.
She alleged that the Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini invited her for a closed-door meeting.
"The BJP is running 'Operation Lotus' across the country to topple elected governments. A few days ago, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini tried to contact me. He tempted me with a BJP ticket from Sangrur and said that whatever demand I had would be fulfilled. He also offered a closed-door meeting, " Kaur, the legislator from Sangrur, told the media.
She also said, "I joined the AAP in 2014 at the age of 19, inspired by the policies of Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann. I am that worker who has put up posters for the party. Only the Aam Aadmi Party can give a small farmer's daughter the honour of becoming an MLA at the age of 27."
Taking a sharp jibe at the Haryana Chief Minister, Kaur said, "The way (Haryana CM) Saini sahib has been roaming streets of Punjab these days, it seems the BJP has sent him to Punjab on deputation. My advice to him is to stop worrying about me or Punjab and take care of Haryana. The people of Punjab and AAP MLAs stand like a rock with Bhagwant Singh Mann and Arvind Kejriwal."
