Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday slammed the Capt Amarinder Singh-led Government in Punjab for backtracking on its tall promise on complete loan waiver.
“The Government has designed this sham loan waiver narrative simply to lure the public with an eye on the upcoming Lok Sabha elections,” said AAP’s Punjab unit chief and Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann alleging that the Government was now engaged in splurging lakhs of public money to putting up hoardings in every nook and corner of the State highlighting its ‘achievements’ during its two-year term, “which is mere hype and hoopla generated to translate it into votes”.
Mann reminded the Government that the people were well aware of their “cheap gimmicks” to win public sympathy. “Elections could not be won merely by highlighting ‘achievement’ through hoardings, as ‘actions speak louder than words’,” he said.
