The ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) asked the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) chief Capt Amarinder Singh to clear his stand whether his party was ready to forge an electoral alliance with ‘tonga party’.
“An unusual situation has developed and people of the State are totally confused over the different stands being taken by different opposition parties of the State. It is ironical to note that on one side Capt Amarinder Singh dubs the self-styled Awaaz-e-Punjab as a ‘Tonga Party’ and on the other hand, the leaders of the so-called ‘Tonga Party’ are talking of forging an unprincipled alliance with the same Congress party,” said SAD secretary and spokesman Daljit Singh Cheema.
Expressing surprise that the Awaaz-e-Punjab leaders are declaring their front as non-political again and again, while, on the other hand, they are trying to bargain with different opposition parties for a political space to save their own seats.
“People of the State are now clear that none of the opposition parties or groups have any positive policy or program for the people of the state and these facts will be revealed in the results of the coming assembly elections,” he said.
