Ludhiana : Suspended Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Member of Parliament from Patiala Dharamvir Gandhi slammed AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal for befooling the people of Punjab by making huge promises in the manifesto.
Gandhi said that it was the right of every political party to release manifesto and share their vision, but the political parties should reveal the resources from where they will fulfill the promises.
Talking to media persons, Gandhi said that Kejriwal has promised to waive off farmers’ debt, provide 25 lakh jobs. “Kejriwal and AAP leaders should explain that from which quarter they will get help and resources to waive out loan and create jobs for youngsters,” questioned Gandhi.
“AAP manifesto is totally fraud and they are playing with the sentiments of people,” said Gandhi, while suggesting that the manifesto of political party should be presented as legal document and party failing to fulfill the promises should be barred by Election Commission of India.
Accompanied by Swaraj Party leaders Manjit Singh and Prof Santokh Singh, Dharamvir Gandhi said that Congress is doing cheap politics and befooling the people from last 25 years and now AAP is following the same politics in Delhi.
“The politics of SAD, Congress and AAP starts from the alcohol addiction of Bhagwant Mann and ends at Chitta Ravan,” said Gandhi.
Replying to a query, Dharamvir Gandhi said AAP leaders have approached him but he will never return to the party whose leader is a dictator. Gandhi also challenged AAP to expel him from the party and clarified that he will not resign as the people have elected him for five years.
