Jalandhar : Reacting to a statement by AAP leader Jarnail Singh, who has demanded resignation from suspended party member Dharamvira Gandhi, the latter today said he was not the “domestic servant” of AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal.
In the city to attend a programme, Gandhi said instead Kejriwal should resign for deviating from the professed principles of the party.
“I have not deviated an inch, but he has shifted his entire track. Kejriwal murdered honest politics and betrayed the aspirations of the people of India as he had promised to bring India in line with the Jai Prakash movement of 1974. On the contrary, he has brought high command culture in the party, killed democracy and political and financial transparency in the party. I am not a fugitive and will not run away from the responsibility given to me by those who elected me,” he alleged
‘Sidhu indecisive’
Gandhi said: “The Awaaz-e-Punjab leaders seem to be indecisive as of now. Navjot Singh Sidhu jumped in the political fray and withdrew at the same time.”
Now, Captain says open to ties with Awaaz-e-Punjab
He had earlier dismissed the front as a ‘tonga party’
New Delhi : Reciprocating Awaaz-e-Punjab’s feelers, Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh said today that his party was open to a pre-poll tie-up with the front so as to unite anti-Akali and secular forces.
Amarinder said he could concede the party ticket for leaders of Awaaz-e-Punjab, the newly-formed front led by former BJP MP Navjot Singh Sidhu. The PPCC chief had recently dismissed the front as a “tonga party”.
“All leaders of the front have their own support bases. Pargat Singh can win from anywhere in Punjab. The Bains brothers have their own seats. Sidhu has said he would not like to contest. If they want a seat for his wife, as and when she comes on board, there is no problem as she, too, is an MLA. These things can be worked out,” Amarinder said.
He stated that apart from an understanding on who would contest from which seats, the key part of a pre-poll alliance would be a political understanding between partners. He said they were willing to discuss a common minimum programme with the front.
