CHANDIGARH: Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party Working President Ashwani Sharma today strongly accused the AAP government, Congress, and Shiromani Akali Dal of coming together purely for political gains and running false and misleading propaganda against the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Sharma said that the tweet issued by the Central Government has clearly stated that no bill related to Chandigarh is being brought in the Winter Session of the Lok Sabha. Therefore, the atmosphere of fear created by the AAP government and the opposition was nothing but a political drama.
Sharma clarified that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Central Government have always been pro-Punjab. BJP has protected Punjab’s rights at every step — whether it is the issue of water, Chandigarh, or any other matter related to the interests of Punjab.
Launching a sharp attack against AAP, Congress and Akali Dal, he said that these three parties have no real concern for Punjab; for the sake of coming to power they are building a false narrative against BJP.
Targeting AAP, Ashwani Sharma said that the AAP government, which failed to fulfill its election promises, has also failed to control gangsterism, illegal mining and has failed in providing compensation to flood victims. To divert public attention from all this, they are making baseless allegations against the BJP. He said that the entire drama of AAP proves that they have made it a habit to shift blame for every failure onto the BJP.
Criticizing Congress and Akali Dal, Sharma said firmly that these issues (water, Chandigarh, and Centre-State relations) are the result of the decades-long mistakes committed by these very old parties. The problems they could not solve themselves — today they want to mislead people again by blaming BJP. But the old mistakes cannot be covered up anymore.
Attacking Shiromani Akali Dal (B), Sharma said that the Akali Dal is now targeting BJP only to save the little political ground they have left.
He said that Congress is scared today because BJP is emerging as a strong political force, replacing them in Punjab. Therefore, Congress, too, along with AAP and Akalis, is giving oxygen to false propaganda against the BJP.
Assuring full commitment, Ashwani Sharma said that whenever any issue arises related to the interests of Punjab, BJP will always ensure a Punjab-friendly solution by discussing it with the Central Government. He said BJP does not do politics — it works solely for the welfare and interests of the people of Punjab.
