Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Yogendra Yadav on Friday accused SAD-BJP Government of failing to protect youth from drugs and allowing sand mafia to flourish in the State.
“Will you elect the MP of SAD-BJP alliance, the Government of which failed to protect your children from drugsIJ Will you support leaders whose parties have allowed the sale of sand and gravel in black market and permitted the sand mafia to flourish,” he said during a roadshow in Faridkot.
Yadav alleged that Punjab’s one generation became victim of militancy while the next generation was being devoured by drugs and ruling alliance had never bothered to eliminate drug menace. He claimed AAP will play a decisive role in Punjab politics.
Earlier, speaking in another roadshow in support of party candidate from Sangrur, Bhagwant Mann, Yadav has said the graph of the party in the country had fallen after its convener Arvind Kejriwal resigned as Delhi Chief Minister.
“No doubt our graph was rising when we formed the Government in Delhi, but it started falling after Arvind Kejriwal resigned as the Delhi chief minister,” he said , adding, “Before quitting, he should have asked the public, as we did before the formation of the Government,”.
Asked about the increasing popularity of BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in the country, especially in Varanasi, he said: “A huge amount of money is being spent on his publicity. The BJP workers are giving their own footage to the news channels,” adding, “But I am sure that Arvind will win with a big lead from Varanasi”.
Addressing gathering in Sangrur, he appealed to the voters not to get lured by the false promises of Congress and Akali leaders. “Now they will try to lure you with money and drugs but you should not be get misled by them.”
He said, “During my Punjab visit, I have come to know that Punjabis are fed up with the Congress and the ruling SAD-BJP combine and they have decided to vote for the AAP candidates.”
