Chandigarh ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : In the wake of the Aam Aadmi Party supremo, Arvind Kejriwal summoned the AAP MLAs and ministers from Punjab, the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Punjab Assembly Partap Singh Bajwa on Monday categorically said that the AAP was preparing the ground to oust Bhagwant Mann from the post of the Punjab Chief Minister.
“After the recent humiliating debacle in Delhi, the AAP seems to have been in rescue mode in Punjab. The broom party has anticipated its disastrous future in the border state. The top leadership of AAP has started taking measures to save its government in Punjab and perhaps preparing for the next assembly election. Senior Congress Leader Bajwa said that the AAP government in Punjab under the inefficient leadership of Bhagwant Mann has failed awfully in performing and fulfilling its promises including, Rs 1000 per month to women, raising Rs 20000 crore annually from mining, improving law and order, and ending the drug menace and corruption. Therefore, his CM post was already at stake,” Bajwa added. Slamming the AAP government for postponing the cabinet meeting once again, Bajwa said that the last cabinet meeting in Punjab was held on October 5. The lax attitude of the AAP government towards the issues concerning Punjab the most can be gauged from the fact that it did not bother to call a cabinet meeting for the past four months. “Punjab has been on the threshold to be bankrupt. Apart from this, other matters for instance drug menace and law and order situation have been looming large in the state. Yet, the Punjab CM has been busy with insignificant affairs like touring Australia and party meetings in Delhi,” Bajwa said.
