Shiromani Akali Dal senior leaders and Punjab Cabinet Minister — Sikandar Singh Maluka and Sharnjit Singh Dhillon — on Thursday dubbed the current activities on social media by Manpreet Badal as a well planned strategy to prepare ground for another political opportunity in Aam Admi Party (AAP). “PPP president and primary member of Congress party is a first grade political opportunist who changed colours like a chameleon to achieve his political ambitions by switching over from one outfit to another,” they said in a joint statement.
SAD leaders said that Manpreet was nowhere in the picture during Delhi elections campaign but victory of AAP had provoked his political opportunist character to create a ground for himself in this new party. Declaring Manpreet as “biggest betrayer”, they said that he had misled the public by using names of great martyrs Sardar Bhagat Singh but later on he himself betrayed his own team. Accusing Manpreet for concealing fact that he had joined the Congress party, Maluka and Dhillon said that he should introspect besides bringing truth before the public that he had got primary membership of Congress party before contesting polls on Congress symbol from Bathinda lok Sabha constituency.
