Chandigarh : Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday countered the Aam Aadmi Party manifesto “promise by promise,” while proving that it was straightway copied from what Congress has already promised to the people of Punjab.
Capt Amarinder also challenged the AAP to prove that its manifesto is not a “carbon copy” of the Congress announcements made during the recent past.
The PCC president said, the main features of the AAP manifesto have already been highlighted by the Congress. “The issue of drugs, corruption, unemployment and registration of false cases are the permanent feature of our campaign,” he pointed out, while asking AAP what new had it to offer.
Referring to AAP’s claims that it went around the state for six months and came out with the manifesto, Capt Amarinder said that it was characteristic of a party that has no history, no culture, no knowledge and no affinity with the state and has to sweat it out even to find out the basic issues.
“You really do not need to go around for six months and know about drugs, corruption, unemployment, farmers’ suicides and false cases,” he pointed out, while adding, “even a small child can tell you that.”
