Busy settling scores with Capt Sidhus forgotten Punjab AAP
Addressing a press conference after opening the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) office in Bathinda, Cheema said to settle political scores with chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh Sidhu is busy seeking support of Congress legislators.He said the AAP hailed Sidhu when he raised issues of misgovernance by the Amarinder Singh led government.But now to unsettle Amarinder politically Sidhu is visiting residences of those Congress leaders whose names figure in liquor and natural resources mafia. Since his appointment, Sidhu has not raised any burning issue of Punjab but is busy garnering the support of the corrupt to belittle Amarinder he said.He said Punjab is under a debt of ₹3 lakh crore out of which more than ₹90,000 crore was recorded under the present state government since 2017.Overlooking people’s issues, Amarinder is repeatedly issuing statements that Sidhu should seek an apology from him. The state Congress president has said several times that his party failed to keep all key promises made in the run-up to the 2017 assembly polls.To a question, Cheema said the party has yet to start identifying candidates for next year’s elections.The party is not in hurry to announce candidatures but our volunteers are in election mode. The AAP will finalise names after a survey to find fit candidates in all segments.
