Hoshiarpur : The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) held a rally at Hariana, 20 km from here, today. Like in other parts of the state, the rally evoked good response from residents. Addressing the gathering, AAP leaders criticised the Badal-led SAD-BJP government and alleged that the alliance was afraid of AAP.
They alleged the people of the area and AAP workers were being warned against attending the rally.
Bhagwant Mann said: “Despite attempts of ruling party leaders, people have come to the rally and this huge presence is a slap in their face.” He also made satirical comments over local MLA Bibi Mohinder Kaur Josh and claimed that she would be nowhere in the contest in coming Assembly elections.
Sucha Singh Chhotepur said: “The people of Punjab are suffering at the hands of the ruling alliance. Badals have captured each and every trade in the state and they are only concerned about their businesses and not state. They are trying to befool the people by making false claims of development.”
He claimed AAP’s mission 2017 would be to achieve Delhi-like grand success and all those saying AAP was no influence in Punjab would have to face huge embarrassment.
Shehnaz Hindostani from the central leadership of AAP recited her poems on the occasion which earned applause from the gathering.
