New Delhi [India], February 12 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Dushyant Gautam on Wednesday claimed that Punjab will soon be free from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as the people of the state have understood that they have been cheated.
"The people of Punjab have understood that they have been cheated. The people and MLA of Punjab want to be free from them (AAP). We can witness that. I believe Punjab will soon be free from them," Gautam told ANI.
Earlier today, BJP National Spokesperson RP Singh alleged that all was not well in Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann-led state where there is a protest against Kejriwal, especially after he lost the recent Delhi Assembly election.
Speaking to ANI, the BJP leader pointed out that four of the 94 MLAs called for the meeting in Delhi did not turn up.
"It is very clear that all is not well in Punjab. There is a protest against Arvind Kejriwal especially after he lost elections in Delhi. 94 MLAs were called to the meeting but four MLAs did not come to the meeting. One MLA openly demanded to remove Bhagwant Mann from the CM post," RP Singh said.
Kejriwal met with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and MLAs from the state on Tuesday.
Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal on Tuesday slammed Aam Aadmi Party alleging that "some people" consider Punjab as "their personnel ATM."
Speaking about the meeting of AAP MLAs with Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi, Maliwal said that there's anger amongst Punjab MLAs for the AAP convenor.
Speaking with ANI, Maliwal said, "Some people have started considering Punjab as their personal ATM. Sand mining is going on openly. There's too much corruption in transfer posting. There is a lot of anger among the people and MLAs of Punjab. Arvind Kejriwal has appointed his goon Vibhav Kumar as the chief advisor of Bhagwant Mann... Is the money looted from Punjab now coming to Delhi?"
"Arvind Kejriwal ji is looking to move to Punjab since he lost in Delhi. Arvind Kejriwal called a meeting with Punjab MLAs because there was anger amongst Punjab MLAs over Kejriwal coming to Punjab. When Punjab has given the mandate to Arvind Kejriwal, what has he done for Punjab?" she added. (ANI)
