Swaraj Abhiyan, an organisation led by Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav, today came out in support of suspended AAP MP from Patiala Dharamvira Gandhi and accused the Arvind Kejriwal-led party and Congress of running the show like a kingdom.
It also accused the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal in Punjab of losing its way and being involved in corruption.
Backing the new Punjab-centric front formed by Gandhi, which may contest the 2017 Assembly polls, Abhiyan said the front will take care of the interest of Punjab.
"We support the front's alternative politics that can cater to regional aspirations of the state. The Shiromani Akali Dal has lost its way while the AAP and the Congress run the show like kingdoms operating from Delhi," it said.
Political outfits, including the Democratic Swaraj Party, the Apna Punjab, the Jai Jawan Jai Kisan Party, the Swabhiman Party, along with former AAP leader HS Kingra and several academicians and volunteers, had joined hands with Gandhi.
The suspended AAP MP from Patiala said the name of the front will be announced in 10-15 days.
