BHATINDA: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged that chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh and newly-appointed Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu have pushed the state behind in their fight for coveted posts. They wasted four-and-half years in the battle and for it they should apologise to the people of Punjab, said leader of opposition in state assembly Harpal Singh Cheema.
The AAP leader was in Bathinda on Thursday for inaugurating the party’ new district office. Cheema, accompanied by MLAs Aman Arora and Rupinder Kaur Ruby, said Navjot Singh Sidhu had forgotten all the issues of Punjab as soon as he got the top party post and now both Captain and Sidhu were diverting attention from the real issues like desecration, drugs, power, unemployment, agrarian crisis and mafia. After getting the presidency of the state unit of party, Sidhu was visiting leaders against whom allegations of being sand, liquor and transport mafia were being levelled, Cheema added.
