'AAP Just Wants To Do Drama': Punjab CM Denies Kejriwal's Allegations Of Not Allowing Presser
Kejriwal is slated to reach Chandigarh on Tuesday. The visit assumes significance as the AAP is expanding its base in Punjab, which goes to polls next year.
Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Monday rubbished charges that his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal was denied permission to hold a press conference in Punjab and alleged the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) “just wants to do drama even if it means lying”.
“Totally not true. We let Arvind Kejriwal address a rally here just few days back so why should we stop him now from having a press conference. If he wants I’d be happy to arrange his lunch too. AAP just wants to do drama even if it means lying,” ANI quoted Captain Amarinder Singh as saying.
The remarks came as the AAP earlier in the day alleged the Punjab Chief Minister’s office refused to give permission to Kejriwal’s press conference, which was scheduled to be held at the Punjab Bhavan on Tuesday.
Kejriwal is slated to reach Chandigarh on Tuesday. The visit assumes significance as the AAP is expanding its base in Punjab, which goes to the polls next year.
Earlier in the day, Kejriwal promised free electricity in Punjab if his party emerges victorious in the upcoming assembly polls.
“In Delhi, we provide 200 units of free electricity to every family. The women are very happy. Women in Punjab are also very unhappy with inflation. The AAP government will also provide free electricity in Punjab. See you tomorrow in Chandigarh,” he tweeted in Punjabi.
Earlier, AAP announced that they would be contesting in Punjab Assembly Elections 2022.
