Fatehgarh Sahib, January 2

Suspended Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Harinder Singh Khalsa has claimed that the Congress will get absolute majority in the Assembly elections as people who were fed up with the SAD-BJP government are now also disappointed with AAP.

Khalsa, who was in the town to distribute cheques to the panchayats in the district for various development works, stated to mediapersons here today.

Khalsa said the people in the state were now also fed up with the day-to-day dramas of the AAP and added that the level of political ethics was already low but with AAP it had declined further.

On formation of a new party Khalsa said it was not easy to form a political outfit at this juncture and added that no AAP leader had contacted him after his suspension from the party. He said he would support the candidates with a clean image.

The MP said Rs 32 lakh had been provided to various panchayats for development works such as construction of streets, drains, dharamshalas and crematoriums. He said besides this Rs 1.99 lakh had been provided to the schools for installation of ROs so that clean and safe drinking water could be provided to the schoolchildren. He added that only Akali and Congress leaders were approaching him for grants whereas none of the AAP leader had approached him for the grants.
