“Bhagwant Mann has become pawn”
STATE TIMES NEWS
CHANDIGARH/DELHI: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Wednesday questioned former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s credentials to make announcements on behalf of the Punjab government.
In a strongly worded statement, Chugh said that Kejriwal, who is on bail and facing various criminal charges, has arrogated to himself all powers of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, giving an impression to the people of the state that he has practically taken over the state governance.
“Kejriwal has usurped all powers of Bhagwant Mann and brought shame for the people of the state”, he said.
Chugh said, as it is, the entire state knows that Kejriwal has been also plotting his entry to Rajya Sabha through Punjab. “By camping in Ludhiana and making announcements on behalf of the Punjab government, Kejriwal is only demonstrating that Bhagwant Mann is a pawn who would be used for his political interests.
Expressing his serious concern at the deteriorating law and order situation in Punjab, Chugh said every day there are signals of complete breakdown of law and order. Even today, he said, there has been a brutal attack on an AAP leader, besides an attack on the Himachal Roadways bus. He said the AAP government has lost moral ground to rule the state as there is complete collapse of governance on all fronts.
