In the Bajwa house the distance between Congress and BJP is just a dozen stairs: Cheema
Punjab Congress leaders have lost trust and respect of the people, they are trying to get some votes in the name of Arvind Kejriwal
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, May 3-
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab hits back at Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa for misleading the people of Punjab. AAP termed Partap Singh Bajwa as Partap Singh Bhajpa.
In a statement released from the party office, AAP leader Harpal Singh Cheema said that any advice coming from Partap Singh Bajwa about whom to vote is laughable because in the Bajwa house the difference between Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party is just a dozen of stairs. Harpal Singh Cheema was pointing towards the brother of Partap Singh Bajwa, Fatehjang Singh Bajwa who is a BJP leader.
Cheema warned the workers and leaders of Punjab Congress that Partap Singh Bajwa is a BJP agent, who is doing the work of the BJP in the Congress and weakening the party. Harpal Cheema further said that today Partap Bajwa is asking for votes in the name of Arvind Kejriwal, but Kejriwal ji always used to say that Partap Bajwa is a BJP agent. Cheema added that the Punjab Congress leader is unnerved by their imminent defeat in Punjab so he is making such statements. He is well aware that the people of Punjab are only going to vote for 'jharoo', so he is trying to mislead people with such baseless statements.
Harpal Cheema said that Arvind Kejriwal is fighting against the dictatorship and the BJP. He is in jail in a false case because the BJP and Narendra Modi are scared of him. On the other there is Partap Singh Bajwa who is betraying his own party and keeps on conspiring against Congress leaders to weaken the party. Harpal Cheema said that the people of Punjab have rejected the Congress, they do not trust Congress leaders in Punjab. With his statement, Partap Bajwa is just trying to mislead the people because he himself knows that the people of Punjab are ready to defeat selfish Congress leaders once again.
Cheema, taking a dig at Congress, said that the half of the Congress is already in the BJP. Their former Punjab president Sunil Jakhar is now BJP's Punjab president, their former Chief Minister Captain Amrinder Singh is in BJP, his wife and former MP Preneet Kaur is contesting elections on the BJP ticket. He added that their MP Ravneet Bittu is contesting from Ludhiana Lok Sabha for the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Cheema denied the possibility of any leadership crisis in the AAP Punjab and said that we are party of the common people. Our MLA and ministers work on the ground. Our CM is campaigning in Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat and Assam. He is getting an overwhelming response everywhere.
Cheema appealed to supporters of the AAP and the people to not fall for any such false statements. He said that Congress should expel this agent of the BJP from their party. Harpal Cheema said that such statements from Punjab Congress leaders are the reason that they never have any harmony in their party and they have lost the trust of the people.
