"AAP's meeting tells something is wrong...": BJP's Tarun Chugh - World News Network

New Delhi [India], February 12 (ANI): BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Wednesday said that Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal’s meeting with party’s Punjab leaders indicated that something is ‘wrong’, while adding that the Punjab government has “failed on all fronts”.
Speaking to ANI, Chugh claimed that the Punjab leadership of AAP is nervous after the Delhi election defeat.
“AAP’s meeting tells that something is wrong. The Punjab government has failed on all fronts. Leaders and MLAs of AAP are nervous after Delhi’s defeat… If Kejriwal wanted to meet the leaders of Punjab, then he should have gone to Punjab. He is treating Punjab’s leaders like slaves, this is an insult to Punjab,” the BJP leader said.
Earlier today, BJP National Spokesperson RP Singh alleged that all was not well in Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann-led state where there is a protest against Kejriwal, especially after he lost the recent Delhi Assembly election.
Speaking to ANI, the BJP leader pointed out that four of the 94 MLAs called for the meeting in Delhi did not turn up.
“It is very clear that all is not well in Punjab. There is a protest against Arvind Kejriwal especially after he lost elections in Delhi. 94 MLAs were called to the meeting but four MLAs did not come to the meeting. One MLA openly demanded to remove Bhagwant Mann from the CM post,” RP Singh said.
Kejriwal met with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and MLAs from the state on Tuesday.
Congress MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Tuesday commented on AAP national Convenor Arvind Kejriwal’s meeting with the party MLAs and said that calling a meeting shortly after the elections only showed that the party would break soon.
On Sunday, Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa claimed that over 30 AAP legislators in Punjab are in touch with the Congress and ready to switch sides.
Reacting to this, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann yesterday took a jibe at Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Assembly, Pratap Singh Bajwa’s claims of rift in the Punjab unit of the Aam Aadmi Party, and raised the question on the number of MLAs Congress party had in Delhi.
He also slammed Bajwa over his criticism of law and order in Punjab, and said the situation was better than most of the states.
“I would ask Pratap Singh Bajwa to count on how many MLAs they have in Delhi. The law and order of Punjab is better than most states… We have to put in extra effort being a border state, and we are doing that…” Mann said speaking to media persons. (ANI)
