BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Wednesday minced no words to say that Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh has let loose hordes of “goondas” in the State to stifle the voice of the BJP. Chugh, in a scathing attack on the Chief Minister, said that Capt Amarinder has subverted all democratic norms and has unleashed a reign of terror and violence in the State in his nervous run-up to the municipal elections.
“Congress has been promoting goonda raj in Punjab in the face of its bleak chances of winning in the municipal polls. The writing on the wall for Amarinder is clear, so he is getting nervous and jittery and is seeking help of goondas and unlawful elements to cow down the BJP,” said Chugh.
Reacting to the Chief Minister's statement that the BJP would be wiped out in the wake of the farmer bills, Chugh said that Capt Amarinder’s “wishful” thinking has made him blind to the ground realities. “He is living in a fool's paradise if he thinks that the BJP could be wiped out. Many Congress leaders in the past had such dreams in their eyes, but the BJP has only grown from strength to strength,” said Chugh.
