Sukhbir Badal: AAP yet to fulfil promises made to Delhi

Chabbewal (Hoshiarpur), Nov 23

SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal today asked Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to tell people whether he had implemented in Delhi any of the promises that he had made in Punjab.

CM Channi is resorting to lies and deceit to woo people despite knowing he cannot deliver on anything. — Sukhbir Badal, SAD President

Addressing events in favour of party candidate Sohan Singh Thandal here, he asked Kejirwal why he had not given an allowance of Rs 1,000 per month to all women in Delhi; why 300 units of power had not been provided to all Delhi consumers; why new hospitals had not been established in the national capital; and why only contractual employment was being offered to the youth and none was regularized till now.

Taking a dig at the Delhi CM, Sukhbir said: “Kejriwal promised that he would not join politics, but reneged on it. Similarly, he had gone back on his word on truck with the Congress and not living in the Chief Minister’s bungalow. “Kejriwal even guaranteed that he would establish a Lokpal in Delhi in 2013, but has not done this till now,” he said.

Accusing AAP of copying the SAD’s 13-point programme, the SAD chief said all AAP schemes in Delhi were propaganda exercises only.

On the Congress and announcements made by CM Charanjit Singh Channi, he said: “The Congress too made promises to the Punjabis, but did nothing for four and a half years. Now they are doing whatever they can to woo the voters.” — OC
