Anandpur Sahib, March 23: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday said it was fully geared up for Punjab assembly polls slated for 2017 and dared both Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal & Congress Chief Captain Amarinder Singh to hold the elections ahead of the scheduled time, if they desire.
APP leaders made the aforesaid remarks speaking during the massive political conference organised on the occasion of Hola Mohalla at Anandpur Sahib.
AAP, Punjab Convener Sucha Singh Chhotepur speaking on the occasion said he came to know that both Badal and Amarinder are issuing statements that there was a possibility of early polls in Punjab.
There are indications that Badal wanted to sacrifice the SAD-BJP alliance government on the SYL issue to attain ‘martyrdom’ for which he was planning to hold elections much earlier than the scheduled time, Chhotepur said adding that even Amarinder, who is having political nexus with the Badals, has also sent signals for the early assembly polls in Punjab.
“AAP wants to sound both Badal and Amarinder loud and clear that we are completely ready for the polls even if they want to hold these whether in two or six months, whenever. The entire Punjab knows that Congress laid the foundation stone of the SYL and it was during Akali government that 90% construction of the SYL was completed”, vowed Chhotepur.
AAP national spokesperson and In-charge Punjab Affairs Sanjay Singh said during the last nine years of misrule of SAD-BJP alliance look at the deterioration set in Punjab.
Sanjay Singh also cautioned people of Punjab that in their pursuit to hold early polls the SAD-BJP alliance might create divisions within various communities on communal lines and also try to spread politics of hate on the basis of caste and creed for political gain.
Farmers are being forced to commit suicides while the youth is being constantly pushed into the whirlpool of drugs, he said.
Here farmers are committing suicides and soldiers are getting martyred, but State Government failed to take care of them, but in Delhi in a true spirit of “Jai Jawan Jai Kisan’, AAP Govt gave compensation of Rs 50,000 per hectare to farmers as compensation of their damaged crop and martyred’s family was given Rs One crore, Sanjay Singh said,
In his known style of firebrand speech, Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann said “While farmers are committing suicides due to debt and Industry of the state is ruined, Akali Dal is giving an advertisement of prosperous Punjab in its rule of nine years”.
“Both Akalis and Congress are under panic of AAP, which could be evident of their frustration of referring us as ‘Topiawale”, Mann said and public echoed his opinion by raising hands.
“They make fun us and term us Dilliwale, I ask Sukhbir Why he live in Delhi and why every evening helicopters drops him to Delhi only? Punjab is not of Sukhbir, Majithia and Amarinder only, it is native land of all Punjabis, who are proud and determined to get rid of them”, Mann said.
“Let them stay in fantasy and see ‘day dreams’, as all these are set to be broken in 2017”, he added.
“Akalis have looted you a lot and when they will offer you money for votes, grab it immediately as it is all of yours but give them a befitting reply in EVMs”, Sangrur MP appealed.
SAD and Congress are fighting a “Noora Kushti’ to befool the public, but they don’t know ‘ye jo public hai ye sab jaanti jai’ (People are smart enough to understand everything), Mann said.
