Shri Hargobindpur (Gurdaspur): Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal today said Punjabis could not afford to waste another five years by giving one chance to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as being demanded by it and would repose faith in the tried and tested pro-development policies of the SAD-BSP combine.
The SAD President was addressing public gatherings in favour of Rajanbir Singh Ghoman here.
Urging the people to understand the devious game plan of AAP, Sukhbir Singh Badal said “you have already suffered by trusting the false oaths taken by former chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh. Now a party of outsiders is trying to sway you by asking you to give it one chance. I ask AAP why Punjabis should trust AAP. Its Convener came to Punjab five years back and his party even won 20 seats to emerge as the principal opposition party in the State. However instead of raising the voice of the people, eleven out of its 20 legislators merged with the Congress”.
Badal said Kejriwal had also ditched Punjabis like Capt Amarinder Singh. “The AAP Convener did not even come to Punjab more than once a year before the start of the election process.
He did not care to send any medicines to Punjab as chief minister of Delhi. He did not even visit the State during the Covid pandemic. How can you trust him to stand by you in case you give him a chance and elect AAP to power?” Badal asked.
