Ridiculing Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s claims about his Aam Aadmi Party winning 107 out of 117 seats in 2017 elections, Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Capt Amarinder Singh on Friday said that he (Kejriwal) was living in a fool’s paradise.

“like the People’s Party of Punjab (PPP), the AAP will soon vanish into the thin air,” said Capt Amarinder. He added, “PPP leader Manpreet Badal still has integrity and credibility to his credit and he is the son of the soil and Kejriwal lacks in all these attributes.”

“I am surprised as why he did not claim 117 out of 117 because that could have suited and sounded much better for him,” said Capt Amarinder, while taunting Kejriwal’s “day dreaming”, saying that like a frog in the well, he was miserably mistaken by presuming that Punjab was like Delhi and it may vote like Delhi.

PPCC president pointed out that since 2014, when AAP won four parliamentary seats in Punjab, it had split vertically with two MPs already having revolted. “Besides the two bye-elections it contested, it forfeited the security deposit in both and after that it did not dare to contest any bye-election,” he said.

“If you have really started believing that you are going to sail on the political deadwood you have been importing from other parties, may God bless you as you are doomed and destined to drown…No matter how much you try to polish it, deadwood will always remain deadwood only,” said the former CM.

Capt Amarinder said: “If Kejriwal thinks that by inserting multi-page paid news supplements in Punjab’s newspapers, while spending Delhi taxpayers’ money, he can mislead or befool the Punjabis, he is badly mistaken.” Punjabis are too wise to be fooled or carried away by your misleading ad-campaigns as they already know what has happened to Delhi and nobody can risk Punjab going that way, he said.
