Chandigarh, May 15

Congress legislature party (CLP) leader Partap Singh Bajwa has targeted the Aam Aadmi Party over delay in delivering the key guarantees promised by the party ahead of the Assembly elections.

Pointing out CM Bhagwant Mann’s statement ahead of the elections that an “empty treasury was a ‘peepa’ (barrel), not public exchequer”, Bajwa said: “To use the same excuse today is simply abrogation of responsibility on part of the government.”

He said the AAP’s promise of “badlav” (change) had so far seen the party disregard or delay their promises, while mismanaging the economy and security of the state. “I fear the AAP will truly leave the treasury as a ‘peepa’ at the end of their current term,” added Bajwa.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
