Maintaining that ruling Akali has foiled AAP's bid to "politicize sensitive issues" concerning Punjab, Lok Sabha MP Prem Singh Chandumajra today said that people should not have high hopes from a party which couldn't adopt a clear approach to the SYL issue.
"Everyone knows Arvind Kejriwal's double-speak on SYL issue," he said addressing a gathering in Daulatpur village.
Chandumajra said Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal yesterday left the AAP leaders "speechless" with his humility by inviting them to his Chandigarh residence to hand over their charter of demands.
The Punjab CM had dismissed Aam Aadmi Party's "rally and gherao programme" against alleged multi-crore foodgrain scam in the state as "a massive flop show."
AAP protesters had planned to 'gherao' Badal's residence but failed due to heavy deployment of police force at the Chandigarh-Mohali border.
He said CM Badal was in constant touch with the central government to make farming a viable occupation and "AAP's efforts to politicize farmers' suicides were nothing but a cruel joke on beleaguered Punjab farmers."
"The people of Punjab will never hand over the reins of the state to a novice like AAP," Chandumajra said.
