Chandigarh | Tuesday | 30th November, 2021

Summary:

Chandigarh, Nov 30 (PTI) Seeking to dub the 2022 assembly poll as a “Kejriwal vs all” affair, AAP leader Raghav Chadha on Tuesday claimed the people of Punjab know it and will support his party.

All rival political parties in Punjab will again fight the assembly elections together to stop his party from coming to power but the people of Punjab will not let this happen as they all are in favour of his party"s national convener Arvind Kejriwal, elaborated Chaddha in an interaction with reporters here.

The AAP"s co-in-charge of Punjab affairs also claimed that during the 2017 Punjab assembly polls, various political parties, including the Akali Dal and the BJP, had “transferred” their votes to the Congress party to stop the AAP from forming government in the state.

“We fear that this time too, all political parties will again fight assembly elections together to stop AAP and Arvind Kejriwal,” alleged Chadha.

“But I want to make it clear that the people of Punjab have come to know that this election is "Kejriwal vs all" and people of Punjab are with Kejriwal and not with them (other political parties),” said Chadha.

Chadha was replying to a question on former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh party"s possible seat-sharing arrangement with the BJP for the upcoming assembly polls.
