Punjab PCC chief Amarinder Singh today rejected Aam Aadmi Party leader Sukhpal Khaira's charges that Congress used pictures of Golden Temple on its posters.
"Whole of Punjab and the Punjabi community world over knows my commitment and the credentials too well to be questioned by someone like Khaira," he said.
"Khaira was trying to be more loyal than the king without realising that the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, whom he was trying to please, will just use and throw him like a paper napkin," he said here after attending 'bhog' ceremony of Kartar Kaur, mother of the local MLA Kuljit Singh Nagra.
He alleged Kejriwal has a "congenital habit of using and throwing away" people, like he did with Anna Hazare, Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, and "many others".
AAP spokesman Sukhpal Singh Khaira had yesterday alleged that SAD and Congress allegedly used photo of Golden Temple with party symbols on their posters.
The PCC president claimed the Congress was only option left in Punjab for the people.
"It is not just anti-incumbency against the Akalis, it is a deep-rooted aversion and hostility borne out of abuse of power by them during all these years," he said.
Amarinder said there was no difference of opinion or communication gap between him and the party's Chief Spokesman and senior leader Sunil Jakhar.
"I am completely with him on the issue of SYL," he said.
