The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convoy is increasing day by day in Punjab with eminent personalities joining the party. The AAP gained a major boost on Tuesday when BJP leader Akhtiar Singh Sadiora and Congress leaders advocate Rajeev Bhagat and Gursharan Singh, joined the party along with their associates. The leaders joined the party in presence of AAP Punjab affairs in-charge Jarnail Singh and party’s state general secretary Harchand Singh Barsat at the party headquarters here. Party’s office-bearers and leaders from various districts were also present on the occasion.
Akhtiar Singh Sadiora, a native of Moga, has been the president of Heavy Industry Cell, BJP Punjab. Apart from social work, he also runs Madho Agro Industry. Sadiora has been actively participating in the ongoing farmers’ movement, providing help to the struggling farmers who are agitating against centre’s black farm laws on the Delhi borders. Meanwhile, advocate Rajeev Bhagat from Amritsar has been the general secretary of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC). He is also the general secretary of Shri B.D. Bhagat Memorial Society and president, Indian Labour Trade Union.
Rajeev Bhagat has also been the chairman of Bhagat Kabir Parchar Samiti and delegate member of PPCC. He had also remained the president of district Congress Committee, Amritsar from 2014 to 2016; besides member of Amritsar Improvement Trust from 2003 to 2007 and general secretary Punjab Youth Congress from 1998 to 2008. Another Congress leader, Gursharan Singh from Amritsar, has been the secretary of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee and former member of Industrial Board. He had facilitated the release of 17 Punjabis who were awarded death sentence in Sharjah in 2011 by paying the blood money to Misri Khan of Pakistan. He has also acted as social media in-charge in the MP elections of Captain Amarinder Singh in 2013 at Amritsar and is associated with many NGOs and social organizations.
Welcoming the leaders who joined the AAP, party’s Punjab incharge Jarnail Singh said that influenced by the pro-people policies of the Aam Aadmi Party and the works of Delhi’s Arvind Kejriwal government, people are joining the party in large numbers. He said that the Kejriwal government has made Delhi’s government schools world-class and introduced a new model of development by improving the condition of government hospitals. “Today the people of Delhi are teaching their child in the government school after getting their names dropped from private schools and the people are getting good treatment in government hospitals free of cost. The result of that is today people across the country are liking the Aam Aadmi Party and Arvind Kejriwal,” he said.
He said that the people of Punjab were joining the party after being influenced by the work done by the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi and sees the AAP as the only credible alternative that can bring a real change. He said that the people were leaving the BJP and the Congress due to their anti-people policies. Taking a dig at Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, he said that Captain did not fulfill any of the promises made before the elections and was the most inefficient Chief Minister of the whole of India.
“Captain has betrayed the people of Punjab by making false promises,” he added. He said that the youth of Punjab will definitely take account of the false promises made by Captain Amarinder, in the 2022 elections. On the occasion, the leaders who joined the AAP said that today every Punjabi was disappointed with the false promise of Captain Amarinder Singh and the grassroots leaders were forced to leave the party. They said that the people of Punjab have hope from the Aam Aadmi Party that only under their rule, Punjab could prosper and the youth could get employment. They said that whatever responsibility the party entrusts to them, they would work towards strengthening the party with full vigor and devotion.
