CHANDIGARH: Punjab Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday lashed out at Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal for wasting the taxpayers’ money on newspaper advertisements in Punjab. “Kejriwal is suffering from chronic megalomaniac obsessions”, Amarinder remarked, while referring to Kejriwal’s ‘300-word’ letter to the Prime Minister, which he has published in full-page advertisements in newspapers in Punjab.
“You are abusing your position and misusing the public money to promote yourself,” the PPCC chief said while questioning Kejriwal’s honesty and integrity. Raising a question mark over the very purpose of publishing a letter to the PM, Captain said it was aimed at scoring some brownie points with people of Punjab on the eve of elections. “It’s natural for a Prime Minister to read a letter written to him by a chief minister, so where was the need to waste public money using newspapers with full-page advertisements as the medium.
“More than seeking justice for the 1984 victims, Kejriwal is trying to pronounce and proclaim himself as the new messiah as if ordained by divine decree,” said Capt.
