Chandigarh: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab AND accused them of failing to fulfill their promises to farmers.
Reacting on the detention of farmers at Shambhu border, Majithia pointed out that before coming to power, AAP had made numerous commitments to farmers, but none of them have been met.
This comes after the AAP government in Punjab removed protesting farmers on Wednesday night from the Shambu and Khanauri borders. Punjab Police also removed temporary structures erected by farmers at the protest site. Several farmer leaders including farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal who is on an indefinite fast and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha leader Sarvan Singh Pandher were detained by the Police.
“Before coming to power in Punjab, AAP had made many promises to farmers and did not fulfill any of them,” said Majithia.
He also criticised AAP for allowing farmers to build permanent structures at the Khanauri border, only to later remove them. Majithia alleged that AAP’s support for farmers was merely a ploy to gain votes, and now that they’re seeking votes for the Ludhiana West by-election, they’re suddenly talking about industry.
Majithia’s scathing critique also extended to the law and order situation in Punjab, which he claimed has “collapsed.” This, he argued, is the reason why industry is hesitant to invest in the state.
“AAP allowed farmers to build permanent structures at Khanauri border… AAP supported farmers in the past to get votes but now when they want to get votes for Ludhiana West by-election, they are talking about industry… The law and order situation in Punjab has collapsed and that is why industry is not coming to Punjab…,” added the SAD leader.
