Baghapurana (Moga), March 21

Standing in solidarity with the protesting farmers, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today addressed a ‘kisan mahapanchayat’ at Baghapurana town in Moga.

Keeping in view the Assembly elections next year, he trained guns at his Punjab counterpart Capt Amarinder Singh and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of conniving with each other to bring in the farm laws. He announced that his party would support the agitation until the farm laws were repealed by the central government.

“AAP has emerged out of people’s struggle. It has the courage to bring down corrupt and autocratic regimes. We defeated the BJP three times in a row in Delhi. Similarly, we will show the door to the Congress in the coming Assembly elections in Punjab,” he said. Kejriwal accused Amarinder of backtracking from the promises he made to the people before the last Assembly elections. “Amarinder has failed to provide jobs to the youth, waive farm loans and stop the flow of drugs in the state,” he said, adding he could not fool the people in the coming state elections. “We will give unemployment allowance to youths and provide free power, education and health facilities,” Kejriwal promised a cheering crowd.
