Chandigarh (Press Ki Taquat Bureau): A day after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) walked out of the all-party meeting to once again expose its double standards on the farmers\u2019 issue, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Wednesday said the people of Punjab should not expect anything better from a party whose chief was on record touting the Farm Laws as the most revolutionary step in the Agriculture sector in 70 years.<\/p>\n
The act of the walk-out had not only shown the party in its true colours but also bared their lie on Arvind Kejriwal\u2019s video, which showed the Delhi CM narrating the benefits of the Farm Laws in a media interview, said Captain Amarinder. Trashing AAP\u2019s claim of the video being doctored, he said given their track record of repeated U-turns on the issue, it was amply clear where the party\u2019s sympathies lie on this issue. \u201cHow can one believe them after their continued theatrics over the Farm Laws and the farmers\u2019 agitation, including their walk-out from yesterday\u2019s meeting?\u201d he asked, pointing out that this was not the first time AAP had shown its double standards on the issue.<\/p>\n
Citing the recorded presence of AAP Punjab member Amrik Micky at Red Fort during the violence of January 26, the Chief Minister said there was no doubt now that the party was hand in glove with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the conspiracy to destabilise and sabotage the farmers\u2019 peaceful agitation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat have they done to help or support the farmers in all these months?,\u201d Captain Amarinder asked, adding that the string of AAP actions in recent weeks clearly proved that their sympathies were not with the farmers but with the BJP and their crony capitalists. \u201cWhy else did the Kejriwal government in Delhi notify the implementation of one of the black Farm Laws back in November? Why else have they allowed the national capital\u2019s roads to be dug up and the farmers\u2019 protest sites be barricaded like fortresses, instead of exercising their powers since the control of the city\u2019s roads lies with the Delhi Government and not with the Centre?\u201d, asked the Chief Minister.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is ridiculous that a party which cannot stop its own property from being taken over in this shocking manner, in a state where it is in power, should walk out from a pro-farmer meeting in Punjab demanding that our police should go to their state, against all rules and laws,\u201d Captain Amarinder remarked. It\u2019s obvious that the whole drama over security deployment at the Delhi border was enacted by AAP only to divert attention from its own lapses and role in the events triggered by the farmers\u2019 protest in Delhi over the past few days, he added.<\/p>\n
The Chief Minister also took a dig at Kejriwal for taking more than a week to release the list of farmers thrown, under the Delhi government\u2019s very nose, into the Tihar Jail, which is also under their own control. \u201cAnd yet you have the gall to claim you care for, and are concerned about the farmers!,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
