Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday blamed Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh for blowing “irrelevant” issues to divert the people’s attention from important issues before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Reacting to recent outburst by the Congress Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on the issue of ‘real kaptan’ of the party, AAP MP and state unit president Bhagwant Mann said that it was war for supremacy among the three captains.
“It is interesting to see one calling the others captain of army and another a political captain. People of Punjab have nothing to do with who among them is big captain? People are looking for the ‘captain’ who was projected by Prashant Kishore as ‘saviour of Punjab’. Unfortunately, this Captain has proved a flop-show during last about two years of governance,” said Mann.
Mann said that the people of Punjab were repenting their decision of electing Congress government. “The Ministers are demanding resignation of each other on flimsy grounds. It would have been better if Ministers would have demanded resignations from each other on the basis of their report cards,” he said.
Lashing out at the Badals, Mann said that they have disintegrated and now trying to find lost political ground by shedding crocodiles tears on various issues. “It would have been better if Akalis insisted to inscribe name of Guru Nanak Dev on the foundation stone of Kartarpur Sahib corridor,” he said.
Mann said that AAP express gratitude to all leaders including Navjot Singh Sidhu, Kuldip Singh Wadala and Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan for their efforts to make the Kartarpur Sahib corridor a reality.
