Chandigarh: As Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal visits Punjab with his eyes set on the 2017 Assembly election, Congress leader Ajay Maken on Sunday sought to caution the people of the state against getting "deceived" by "hollow promises and false propaganda".
Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Ajay Maken claimed the people of Delhi are "regretting" their decision to elect the AAP as it hasn't fulfilled even a single promise. He alleged the Kejriwal government has betrayed the people's trust and added the Congress does not want Punjab to suffer the same fate as the people of Delhi.
Maken attacked the Kejriwal government for allegedly squandering the tax payers' money in publishing "huge" advertisements. He claimed the AAP' advertisements are "full of lies and falsehood" as they take credit for the achievements of the previous Congress government, which had laid the foundation for Delhi's development.
Maken said the AAP Government had earmarked Rs 526 crore for publicity but had no money to pay wages to employees and pensions to widows, handicapped, and elderly. Maken said the people of Delhi were now waiting for an opportunity to teach the AAP a lesson, which may happen if by elections to the 13 MCD wards are held any time soon.
He said the AAP talked about eradicating corruption but is intolerant to internal criticism. It was quick to suspend two Punjab MPs for raising the issue of internal democracy whereas three of its ministers in Delhi, accused of corruption and cheating, continue to remain its members, he said. He said Punjab was going through a tough time and Congress doesn't want AAP to worsen the situation.
