Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Assembly, Pratap Singh Bajwa slammed Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, saying that he knows very well that AAP only commits fraud. “Just like Dara Shikho was imprisoned in Red Fort, he (Bhagwant Mann) is also imprisoned. He is not a CM, that is just a facade,” Bajwa told ANI. Bhagwant Mann is one of the star campaigners for Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi for the Assembly elections, for which the campaigning is currently underway. Claiming that CM Mann is aware of how his party commits fraud, he added, “Bhagwant Mann himself wants Arvind Kejriwal to lose… He knows very well that this is a group (AAP) that only commits fraud.”
Earlier today, Bajwa also called the AAP-led Delhi government as a “government of liars.”
Bajwa questioned former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s credibility, citing Anna Hazare’s “lack of trust” in him. He further accused Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann of holding a “double PhD in lying.”Speaking to ANI, Bajwa said, “This (AAP) is a government of liars…If his guru (Anna Hazare) has no faith in him, then why would the people of Delhi believe him?…Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann have a double PhD in lying.” Similarly, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, while addressing a rally in Bawana attacked both the AAP and BJP.
“Kejriwal and Modi both make false promises…Kejriwal had promised Delhi that he would clean the Yamuna river and drink its water. Five years ago, he had promised that he would drink the water of the Yamuna River…I challenge him to go and drink the water of the Yamuna River,” he said.
The Delhi Assembly elections are scheduled for February 5, with the counting of votes set for February 8. A total of 699 candidates are contesting for 70 assembly seats in the national capital.
Congress, which held power in Delhi for 15 consecutive years, has faced major setbacks in the last two assembly elections, failing to win any seats.
