(Arshdeep S Kler says party will also expose immoral activities of its ministers and mlas)
Chandigarh, January 25, 2024
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal will expose the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its corrupt and anti-Punjab government during the course of the Punjab Bachao Yatra starting from February 1.
Addressing a press conference here, party chief spokesman Arshdeep Singh Kler said “the AAP government has failed the State on all fronts be it bringing in gangster culture resulting in flight of capital to rampant unemployment, rising corruption, denial of social welfare benefits to Punjabis, discrimination against farmers and rise in the drug menance”.
Asserting that the SAD president had given a call to Punjabis to teach a befitting lesson to the anti-Sikh and anti-Punjab AAP government, Mr Kler said “the Lok Sabha election will spell the countdown of the AAP government and lead the way for the formation of a people’s government of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) which alone stood for safeguarding the aspirations of Punjabis”.
Stating that both the Congress and AAP had taken Punjab back by decades, Mr Kler said “there has not been any development or establishment of any infrastructure project in the State during the last seven years of Congress and AAP rule. “Both these parties are stained by corruption and scams which still continue in the AAP government like in the case of the excise scam perpetrated in Punjab on the same pattern of the Delhi excise scam”.
Mr Kler said “we will also highlight the immoral activities of AAP ministers and legislators and how they are being sheltered by chief minister Bhagwant Mann”. He said be it sodomy charges against minister Lal Chand Kataruchak or the recent disclosure of the objectionable video of minister Balkar Singh, the chief minister was working overtime to save his immoral ministers. “People at large are not safe in this government and we will work with the people of Punjab to bring it down”, he added.
