Janjivan Bureau / New Delhi : Amid the growing rift between the Punjab unit of Aam Aadmi Party and the state Congress, even as their parent parties are part of the INDIA alliance, the comment by Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa on Monday regarding ruling AAP MLAs being in touch with him drew the ire of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
Reacting sharply to the comment made by the senior Congress leader, who is also the Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, CM Mann warned him on Tuesday, “Pratap Bajwa (BJP), you are talking about breaking the elected government of the people of Punjab. I know Congress killed your desire to become Chief Minister..I am a representative of three crore people of Punjab and not a trident of a chair..If you dare talk to the high command.”
Responding to Mann, Partap Bajwa said, “Even the kings could not retain their kingdom forever. You are the acting Chief Minister of Punjab. Though I don’t think it is necessary to answer you, but since you are tweeting while eating and drinking, then listen to the answer.
“When your master Arvind Kejriwal loses control of Punjab, then you should talk to your high command. You are killing the development of Punjab with your jokes, neither you have taken care of the law and order, nor the economy, nor have you taken care of the youth of Punjab from drugs, nor have you cared for the migrant Punjabis sitting in Canada. How long will you continue to kill the dreams of the people of Punjab?
