Chandigarh, January 6

Lashing out at the BJP, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Chandigarh co-in-charge Pradeep Chhabra said “AAP does not believe in horse-trading politics, but development and positive politics. Who is doing the politics of horse-trading is not hidden from anyone.”

Chhabra said after registering a massive victory with 14 seats in the MC poll, AAP had turned out to be the largest party in the city, which BJP leaders were not liking; therefore, they were indulging in rhetoric.

In a statement issued from the party headquarters on Wednesday, questioning city BJP president Arun Sood’s statement that “our councillors are together,” Chhabra asked that if all his councillors were together, why did he send the councillors to Shimla overnight. He warned that BJP leaders should stop playing political tricks to defame AAP.

Chhabra termed the decision of the Congress councillors to keep themselves out of the nomination process of the mayoral election a betrayal of the public. He said the councillors, irrespective of the party, were elected by the public. He said the leaders who appealed to people to vote during the poll were themselves away from the democratic process today. This is why the public had ignored the Congress and it was limited to eight seats in the MC poll.
