AAP slams BJP-ruled MCDs for delay in completing projects
The Aam Aadmi Party today lashed out at the BJP-ruled Municipal Corporations in Delhi for "not completing" projects in time,…
The overwhelming wave in favour of the Congress in Punjab continued to strengthen, with senior Akali and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders on Wednesday joining the Punjab Congress fold to a warm welcome from party president Captain Amarinder Singh.
The move has hit both the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and AAP badly since all three new Congress joinees were senior leaders in the respective parties and made significant contributions to their growth in Punjab.
Amrik Aliwal of SAD, as well as Mahesh Gupta and Gurbans Singh Punia of AAP, said they were completely disillusioned with their respective parties, which were not interested in the welfare of Punjab but were merely befooling the people of the state with their false promises and tall claims.
Only the Punjab Congress, led by Captain Amarinder Singh, could lead Punjab back on the path of development and progress, they said, extending their full and unconditional support to the party president.
Amrik Singh Aliwal, vice president of SAD and former Ludhiana MP, expressed his angst at the anti-democratic functioning of the Badals-led party and said the Badals had only personal agenda and he was feeling suffocated under their leadership.
Having spent 35 years in the Akali Dal, Amrik said he had witnessed first hand the protection given by the Badals to criminals and miscreants, and noted that not a single case had ever been fairly investigated under the Akali rule.
