Terming Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as “totally ignorant” about issues of Punjabis, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Monday cautioned the people that if voted to power, AAP would “ruin” the state like Congress.
Badal, on the sidelines of his Sangat Darshan programme in lambi assembly segment, said that the performance of any party was judged by its working and AAP has proved it was following the Congress by adopting “anti-Punjab” and “anti-Sikh” stance.
“AAP leaders have no respect for any religion and by equating their manifesto with holy scriptures of all religions, the AAP leadership has bruised the psyche of people,” Badal said.
The chief minister claimed that AAP has hurt religious sentiments of Sikhs by pasting the picture of their symbol ‘broom’ on Sri Darbar Sahib.
He claimed that the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi had also discontinued the holiday to observe the festival of ‘Baisakhi’.
Badal alleged that while Congress had signed various water agreements to deprive the state of its waters, the AAP was now trying its best to ensure that these agreements were implemented at the earliest.
Badal alleged the two parties were trying to ruin the state. Regarding the possibility of declaration of early polls in state by Election Commission of India, he said that the SAD-BJP alliance was fully prepared for assembly polls at any point of time.
He said that the alliance parties would contest the elections on the plank of its pro-people and growth-oriented policies.
