As Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal visits Punjab with his eyes set on the 2017 Assembly election, Congress leader Ajay Maken on Sunday sought to caution the people of the state against getting "deceived" by "hollow promises and false propaganda".

Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Ajay Maken claimed the  to elect the AAP as it hasn't fulfilled even a single promise.

Addressing a press conference here, he said the Kejriwal Government has not fulfilled even a single promise made to the people of Delhi in its one-year rule, which the Delhi Congress had observed as ‘Chalawa Diwas’ (day of cheating) on February 14.

Maken said, Punjab would be going for Assembly elections in 2017, and the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee did not want the people of Punjab to suffer the same fate as that of the people of Delhi, as the Kejriwal government had betrayed their trust and faith.

He said the Kejriwal government  had squandered the tax payers’ money to tom-tom about its so-called  achievements by taking out  huge media advertisements, which was full of lies and falsehood, as the AAP government  took credit for the achievements of the previous Congress government, which had laid the foundations for all the development works in Delhi.

Maken said the AAP Government has earmarked Rs 526 crore for its self publicity whereas it has no money to give the wages of the employees and pensions of widows, handicapped and the old people.

He also alleged that the AAP Government had not laid a single brick for development, but claimed credit for increase in the sales of liquor and publishing dairies and calendars as their “great achievements”.

 The people of Delhi were now waiting for an opportunity to teach the Aam Aadmi Party a bitter lesson, which may happen if bye-elections to the 13 MCD wards are held any time soon, Maken claimed.

He said the  AAP which talked about eradicating corruption, was intolerant to internal criticism as it was quick to suspend two Punjab MPs  for raising the issue of internal democracy whereas three of the AAP Ministers, who were accused of corruption and cheating, continue to remain members of the AAP in Delhi.

Punjab was going through a tough time, and the Delhi Congress did not want the AAP to worsen the situation in Punjab, and hence was exposing the corruption and double-speak of the AAP party, as the same people, who took money to give party tickets and for appointing Ministers in Delhi would be in charge of Punjab too, the Congress leader added.
