A day after Shiromani Akali Dal announced to contest upcoming Vidhan Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP from Sangrur Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday criticised Badals for fleeing to UP after predicting huge loss in Punjab in upcoming elections. “Akalis refer to AAP national leaders as outsiders in Punjab, Will not they be Outsiders thereIJ” Mann asked. Mann said that the people of Punjab are fed up with the anti-people policies of Badals in last nine years and they are ready to dethrone the corrupt leaders in upcoming elections in 2017. “Now the Badals are looking for a safe place to hide after the election defeat but AAP Government with the help of the common people of Punjab will put these leaders behind the bar,” he said. The people of Punjab are ready to take account of the loot done by the Akali backed land, alcohol, transport and cable mafia in last nine years of misrule,he said.
