Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Man Singh rejected the claim of Congress leader Pratap Singh Bajwa that 30 MLAs of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) could change the Pala. Targeting the Congress, Mann pointed out the poor performance of this old party in the Delhi assembly elections.
Talking to reporters, Mann said, “I will ask Pratap Singh Bajwa how many MLAs he has in Delhi… The law and order of Punjab is better than most states… We have to make extra efforts due to being a border state and we are doing so Are.
Earlier on Tuesday morning, the CM of Punjab met AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal at Kapurthala House in New Delhi. Mann told reporters that Kejriwal thanked AAP Punjab MLAs for campaigning for him in the Delhi elections.
Mann said, our MLAs arrived here and we held a meeting with the party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal. He thanked everyone for campaigning during the Delhi Assembly elections. Our government has always worked for public welfare in Punjab, whether it is education or infrastructure sector. He said that we need to increase speed… defeat and defeat is part of the game. The people of Delhi still remember us as those who work for him. We have two more years in Punjab. We will make Punjab a good model.
On Monday, Bajwa claimed that 30 MLAs from Punjab were in touch with him. After the Aam Aadmi Party’s defeat in the Delhi Assembly elections, Bajwa claimed that the internal power struggle will begin between Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and party supremo Arvind Kejriwal. The Leader of the Opposition in the Punjab Legislative Assembly also claimed that more than 30 AAP MLAs are in touch with the Congress and are ready to change the front.
Reacting to the claims of Bajwa, AAP MP from Punjab Malvinder Singh Kong targeted the Congress leader. Are all the Congress MLAs in touch with you? If they are, where is Sandeep Jakhar (suspended Abohar MLA)? Why did Raj Kumar Chabbewal leave the party? Chabbewal, who is now AAP MP, came from Congress last year, AAP MP said from Anandpur Sahib. AAP has 93 MLAs in the 117 -member Punjab Assembly, while the Congress has 16 MLAs.
