Chandigarh, April 24
Bharatiya Janata Party’s state president Sunil Jakhar welcomed the Rajya Sabha members who left the Aam Aadmi Party and joined the BJP, stating that this will not only strengthen the party in Punjab but also marks the beginning of the decline of the AAP, which he described as one of the shortest-lived active parties in the country.
In a message shared on social media, Sunil Jakhar wrote, “A warm welcome to all the MPs who have left the sinking ship of AAP in time and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. Due to poor governance, corruption, and lawlessness under AAP, the people of Punjab have become disillusioned with the party. Moreover, after the party abandoned public interest, even good people within it are now being compelled to leave.”
The BJP state president said that due to its flawed policies, the AAP government in Punjab has distanced itself from the people. Because of this inexperienced government, lawlessness and corruption have reached their peak in the state today, and people no longer feel safe. Gangsterism and drugs are consuming the youth. He further added that the “remote control” system within AAP does not allow capable individuals to function, as all control is centralized. He concluded by saying that Punjab is gearing up for a new change, and in 2027, the people of the state will give the Bharatiya Janata Party an opportunity.
