Terming the Punjab BJP leaders’ move to join Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) as a “deep conspiracy”, the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) senior leader and Talwandi Sabo MLA Prof Baljinder Kaur on Sunday said that the BJP was now trying to reach out to the people under the guise of the Badals which people have to be aware of.
“The SAD-BJP alliance is not only intact, but had taken a more dangerous and dirty form. This form of the BJP in the guise of the Akalis will prove fatal to ‘Punjabi and Punjabiyat’, so the people of the State should not face these opportunists and masquerades,” she said.
Prof Baljinder Kaur said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah had taken control of the Badal family and party, which was suffering from various weaknesses including the ED cases.
“As a result, the Badal family is forced to dance to Modi’s tunes. This is the reason why Parkash Singh Badal, who has been the Chief Minister five times and calls himself the Messiah of the farmers, has not uttered a single word against the BJP and Narendra Modi till date,” she said.
She said that they continued to praise the agriculture laws in the language of BJP leaders for months until the people put up no-entry boards in villages and towns against the Badals and the BJP leaders.
“In the end, under the pressure of the people, the Badals claimed to leave the BJP but maintained the internal political alliance, which has now come to light and the BJP is waiting under the guise of the Badals to get closer to the people of Punjab,” she added.
