In a scathing attack on AAP, Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday accused Arvind Kejriwal and “his band of crooks” of endangering Punjab and its people with their grave assaults on the democratic and social institutions of the state.

While Kejriwal himself had exposed his extremist ideology by staying at the house of a KFC commando, other AAP leaders had also shown their true colours, proving that they had only their personal interests at heart, Amarinder said at public rallies in the Sangrur district.

Attacking Kejriwal and his party colleagues, including Bhagwant Mann and Gurpreet Ghuggi (Waraich), Amarinder said this “greedy and shameless” bunch of AAP leaders has brought the entire political class to shame with their unabashed acts of commission and omission at various forums, not sparing even a sacred institution like Parliament.

“Ek sharabi hai to doostra jhootha aur teesra ghuggi,” (One is a drunkard, the other is a liar and the third is Ghuggi) quipped Amarinder, adding that Kejriwal was their king with his habit of making false promises and misleading people with his pretensions of a clean image.

Kejriwal’s AAP, with its extreme ideology, poses a serious danger of return of terrorism to Punjab, which is still struggling to recover from the aftermath of its earlier tryst with extremism, warned Amarinder, hitting out at the AAP national convenor over his nefarious designs against the state.

Turning his attention to Mann, Captain Amarinder said the AAP leader used to reek of alcohol whenever he came across the latter in Parliament House. The PPCC chief pointed out that Mann had not even spared a somber occasion like a funeral from his drunken misbehaviour and was a blot on Punjab’s political fabric.
