Chandigarh, September 15
Having remained inactive for about two years in politics, senior AAP leader Harmohan Dhawan today kicked off a campaign for the coming MC elections. The former Union minister said he would actively campaign during the poll. “Due to Covid, I could not be active in the party so far,” he said.
Addressing the media at his residence on the completion of 25 years of the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation, he said: “I will take this party further as a guide. In the MC, only two parties ruled — the Congress and the BJP. One of which is Nagraj and the other is Sarp Raj. The problem of garbage here remains as it is.
Bhardwaj asked to leave dais
During the press conference, AAP leader Sandeep Bhardwaj was asked to sit among the attendants and not on the dais. When the conference was on, he brought a chair and sat on the dais. He was asked by the senior leadership not to sit there. He left the venue after that. Bhardwaj, a former general secretary in the Congress, recently joined AAP.
“Residential olonies had improved to a great extent during my tenure in Parliament, but after that other parties have not provided any facility in Chandigarh.”
“The people here need the Delhi model. On the lines of Delhi, smart government schools should be equipped with facilities such as clean water and free electricity,” he added.
Party in charge Jarnail Singh said the re-activation of Harmohan Dhawan in AAP would give new strength to the party.
