Cautioning Punjabi NRIs from lending support to the Aam Aadmi Party in the 2017 Assembly polls, former CM and Punjab Pradesh Congress president Amarinder Singh said any new “experimentation” at this crucial juncture could prove disastrous for the state.
“Punjab has been ruined during the 10 years of misrule of the Akali-BJP combine and another five years of any misadventure would bring the state to its knees, making recovery impossible,” said Capt. Singh while addressing a well-attended public reception organised by Punjabi NRIs.
Criticising AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal for his extravagant advertising media campaigns in Punjab, Capt. Singh said, “He has committed a loot of '526 crore of hard-earned money of Delhi taxpayers in pursuit of his political ambitions,” he said, adding that Mr Kejriwal was now dreaming of becoming the chief minister of Punjab.
The PCC president said that Punjab’s interests can never be safe in the AAP’s hands.
