Comedian Gurpreet Ghuggi, who recently joined the Aam Aadmi Party, today said the reason behind his joining AAP is to bring change since people of Punjab were fed up with the alleged rampant corruption and VVIP culture.
Ghuggi asked Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, his son Deputy CM Sukhbir Badal, cabinet Minister Bikram Majithia to shun VVIP culture.
"These top most personalities in the Punjab Government are enjoying top most security cover which is putting heavy burden on state exchequer," he said.
Ghuggi said that if they shun the heavy security cavalcade moving with them it would be better for them otherwise the people of Punjab would shun them in the assembly elections scheduled in February 2017.
Talking about the cricketer turned politician Navjot Singh Sidhu, Ghuggi described Sidhu as "an institution and highly honest personality" .
