Taking a dig at Punjab Deputy Chief Minister and SAD president Sukhbir Badal for promising to buy land in US and Canada to settle Punjabi farmers there if voted to power, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday described it as “bluff” while cautioning the people not to fall prey to such allurements.
AAP MP and campaign committee chairman Bhagwant Mann said: “It will not be amazing if Sukhbir Badal promises to settle unemployed Punjabi youth at the moon in collaboration with the US government.”
SAD’s manifesto, launched by Sukhbir in ludhiana a day before, promised that if Akalis are voted to power, the government would buy one lakh acres of land in US and Canada to settle Punjabi farmers there.
Mann, while cautioning people against ploy of Sukhbir, said that the Deputy Chief Minister might invest his "ill gotten" money in agriculture land in USA, Canada and other countries in the name of Punjabi emigrates.
