Convener of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday pledged to make Punjab drug-free within one month after formation of government by breaking the supply chain of the drug.
Speaking on the 6th day of his 11 day tour of Punjab, Kejriwal said that Akalis have ruined Punjab by making it as “hub” of drugs and AAP would take it a challenge to curb the menace within one month of formation of government.
“So far more than 40 lakh youth of Punjab are trapped in the drug network, spread by Akalis and after formation of government in Punjab, AAP would break the supply chain of drugs within one month and drug-addicted youth would be rehabilitated by opening rehabilitation centres at war foot level within six months and giving them employment”, Kejriwal vowed. Delhi CM said that Congress is giving false hopes to the people of Punjab by claiming that it would fight against the menace of drugs in Punjab.
Both Badals and Amarinder Singh have ruined Punjab during last 15 years and now the time is ripe to get rid of them for which people of Punjab were waiting impatiently, the Delhi CM said
As Akalis have already smelted their humiliating defeat in the forthcoming assembly polls, they have colluded with Amarinder and Singh now they are are contesting Punjab assembly polls jointly, he claimed. “I have learnt that many of the hoardings, which have been put up across Punjab have actually been funded by Badals”, Kejriwal said. Similarly, they have also joined hands to wave black flags at him, wherever he goes, otherwise, he said he has never seen Akalis showing black flags to Congress leaders or vice versa.
He said SAD-BJP Government, which claimed to be a panthic Government has failed to nab culprits of series of sacrilege incidents of Guru Granth Sahib, Quran-e-Sharif and Bhagwat Gita.
Kejriwal reiterated that contracts of mining and bus permits, which Badals obtained through misuse of power would be taken back and would be distributed to unemployed youth, once AAP is voted to power.
