BJP’s Punjab in charge Prabhat Jha claimed that ruling alliance will create history by securing maximum seats. The “misdeeds” of the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi have “exposed its real character” and it is not a force in Punjab politics anymore, BJP vice-president Prabhat Jha has said, adding that the Congress is the main rival of the state’s Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP alliance.
Jha said in this upcoming Punjab elections, BJP will contest 23 seats in the 117-member assembly while the SAD will contest the remaining 94. He also said that it was for the SAD to decide its chief ministerial candidate and the BJP’s role was that of an “elder brother” in the alliance.
“AAP is nowhere in Punjab and given their track record in Delhi, they have nothing left to show for” said Jha. “Due to this, they have people who in the past have been seen with Khalistani elements. This is going to harm the state,” Jha contended.
The BJP leader, who is also the party’s Delhi in-charge, said the AAP’s resounding victory in Delhi was “an accident for politics in India”. He said that conditions in Delhi and Punjab were “different” and a lot had changed since then.
He said the AAP has lost its credibility by actions of its government in Delhi. “They talk about ethics and principles in politics but do not abide by them. Their real character is visible to the people now. Their leaders have made headlines for wrong reasons. Be it Sandeep Kumar or Bhagwant Maan or anybody else.”
“Has it ever happened in Indian democracy that a bureaucrat who accidentally becomes chief minister, and that too of a union territory, challenges the Prime Minister and alleges that the PM may have him murdered,” Jha asked.
“AAP and Congress have challenged the dignity of Punjab. The youth of the state are against them,” he said.
