BJP leaders hold 10-min silence on AAP ‘misrule’

On the completion of three years of the Punjab government, the BJP here today tied black bands and observed 10-minute silence at Shimla Pahari Chowk.

Party workers participated in this silent protest under the leadership of BJP district president Nipun Sharma, state secretary Meenu Sethi and senior leader Avinash Rai Khanna.

Speaking on this occasion, Khanna said that after three years of the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab the government was making big claims, “but if we talk at the ground level, there are neither doctors in hospitals, nor teachers in schools, nor any employee in offices”. He said that Bhagwant Mann government had not fulfilled any of the promises made before coming to power. On this occasion, district BJP unit president Nipun Sharma took a dig at AAP and said that it was busy in pleasing its master Arvind Kejriwal instead of focusing on development. He said that the people of Delhi had shown Kejriwal their true colours and in the coming days the people of Punjab would also follow suit.

He further said Punjab Police was helpless in the face of atrocities like extortion, drug smuggling and hooliganism. Big drug dealers still consider themselves safe in the regime of the Mann government. In the name of action, the youth trapped in the quagmire of drugs were being implicated in false cases. The Mann government does not have any concrete plan for their rehabilitation, he added.
