Why is AAP scared of Akalis, asks Mohindra

Chandigarh, January 11

Lashing out at the Aam Aadmi Party leaders for their campaign against CM Capt Amarinder Singh, Local Bodies Minister Brahm Mohindra today said the AAP had become subservient to the Akalis and started leveling baseless allegations against the CM.

Capt Amarinder bolder than Kejriwal

Unlike Arvind Kejriwal, Capt Amarinder has a distinguished record of taking bold decisions even at the risk of losing his chair... let the AAP leaders quote one similar single example of their leader. — Brahm Mohindra, Local Bodies Minister

He also expressed surprise over the newfound love of AAP for the Akalis. “It is strange and surprising that a party whose leader Arvind Kejriwal tendered an unconditional apology to Bikram Singh Majithia over a defamation suit, is trying to preach political morals to Capt Amarinder,” Mohindra said.

The minister said the AAP leadership in Punjab was now busy trying to wash off the blot of cowardice of their leader. “But let me tell them, they have chosen a wrong course and wrong target as Capt Amarinder’s credibility and reputation is above board,” he remarked.

The minister wondered as why the AAP leadership had stopped speaking against the Akalis even on the farmers’ issue, as they were part of the decision to implement the three farm laws. “Have you arrived at some subtle understanding with the Akalis or your leader is still afraid of Majithia?” he asked the AAP leaders. — TNS
