Speaking at the Panchayat Aaj Tak-Punjab in Chandigarh on Tuesday, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal claimed that the Congress government operated on orders from Delhi.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday alleged that the incumbent government in Punjab was being remote-controlled by leaders sitting in Delhi.
Speaking at Panchayat Aaj Tak-Punjab in Chandigarh on Tuesday, Arvind Kejriwal said that as AAP chief, he will not put his party’s chief minister through the same.
“When Amarinder Singh was CM, he would wait at the Gandhi family reception for days but was still not granted an audience. CM [Charanjit Singh] Channi and [Navjot Singh] Sidhu go to Delhi for orders almost on a daily basis. How often have you seen Bhagwant Mann come to Delhi?” Kejriwal said.
Replying to allegations that he would act as ‘super CM’ if AAP comes to power in Punjab, Kejriwal said that, unlike Congress, if he ever had to discuss anything related to Punjab, he would not call Bhagwant Mann to Delhi but would visit himself.
AAP’s CM candidate Bhagwant Mann, who was part of the panel at Panchayat Aaj Tak-Punjab, questioned Congress’s decision to appoint Charanjit Singh Channi as CM.
