Chandigarh:
The Punjab unit of the Bharatiya Janata party struck against the ruling Aam Aadmi party in the state on Sunday, calling them a political group that believes in “pure propaganda and publicity” while claiming the party spent Rs 42 lakhs to “propaganda” to save Rs 21 lakhs in the name of presenting a paperless budget.
“The AAP is nothing but a political group that believes in pure propaganda and publicity. The so-called much-hyped paperless budget has saved 21 lakhs and a whopping 42 lakhs were spent by the AAP government to make propaganda that 21 lakhs has been saved does not seem to be a forte of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann,” BJP head of state Ashwani Sharma said at a press conference.
Sharma spoke to Mann’s government on law and order in the state, saying it has reached a “new low”.
“Law and order have reached new lows and there is fear psychosis in the public. Nobody feels safe,” he said.
The BJP leader claimed that AAP, which came to power earlier this year and ended Congress rule in the state, had been “corrupted” by power.
“AAP must humble themselves and govern with respect and responsibility. The power has absolutely corrupted them and the ministers are going through the inspection basket,” he said.
Sharma said the BJP is the only party that can bring peace to the state.
“In the coming days, the only party that will be able to bring justice and peace to the state is the BJP. We are very confident that the public will deliver a fitting defeat to AAP,” he said.
Speaking of preparations for the 75th anniversary of India’s independence, Sharma said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for national flags to be placed on houses is a “big move”.
“The BJP in the state has made all arrangements for Amrit Mahautsav on the 75th anniversary of independence. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has encouraged every Indian to celebrate this year by putting national flags on their homes. It is a great move for us. India is a united and proud nation that believes in its Atamnirbhar campaign,” he said.
