Speaking during the political conference organised on the occasion of Hola Mohalla here, AAP, Punjab Convener Sucha Singh Chhotepur said he came to know that both Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Amarinder are issuing statements that there was a possibility of early polls in Punjab.
There are indications that Badal wanted to sacrifice the SAD-BJP alliance government on the SYL issue to attain 'martyrdom' for which he was planning to hold elections much earlier than the scheduled time, Chhotepur claimed adding that even Amarinder, who is having political nexus with the Badals, has also sent signals for the early assembly polls in Punjab.
The entire Punjab knows that Congress laid the foundation stone of the SYL and it was during Akali government that 90per cent construction of the SYL was completed", said Chhotepur.
AAP national spokesperson and In-charge Punjab Affairs Sanjay Singh said during the last nine years of "misrule" of SAD-BJP alliance, deterioration set in Punjab.
Sanjay Singh also cautioned people of Punjab that in their pursuit to hold early polls the SAD-BJP alliance might "create divisions " within various communities on "communal lines " and also try to "spread politics of hate" on the basis of caste and creed.
"Farmers are committing suicides and soldiers are getting martyred, but state government failed to take care of them, but in Delhi in a true spirit of 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan', AAP govt gave Rs 50,000 per hectare to farmers as compensation of their damaged crop and martyred's family was given Rs One crore," Sanjay Singh said.
"Both Akalis and Congress are under panic of AAP, which
'could be evident of their frustration of referring us as 'Topiawale," Mann said.
"Akalis have looted you a lot and when they will offer you money for votes, grab it immediately as it is all of yours but give them a befitting reply in EVMs", Sangrur MP appealed.
SAD and Congress are trying to befool the public, but they don't know 'ye jo public hai ye sab jaanti jai' (People are smart enough to understand everything), Mann said.
"Recently a survey conducted by a renowned agency has predicted AAP 89 seats in Punjab, but people of Punjab have termed this survey as wrong and claimed that AAP is being underestimated, as it will definitely cross the figure of 100 seats in Punjab assembly polls", Ashutosh said.
