Chandigarh, Dec 5 (NationPress) The Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring issued a stern warning to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government for leading the state towards chaos and potential bloodshed, alleging that the ruling party is fostering and supporting gangsters to secure electoral victories.
Warring noted that the government seems to be adhering strictly to the former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s controversial tactics of ‘saam, daam, dand, beid’ in Punjab.
He also cautioned police officials who have become mere puppets of AAP that they will face legal consequences. “We will neither forget nor forgive,” he asserted firmly to these officers.
Warring addressed the media, stating that the ruling party appears to be frightened and anxious about the possibility of electoral defeat, having realized that their support is dwindling.
He emphasized that the AAP government is hesitant to conduct the Zila Parishad and Block Samiti elections due to their awareness of impending loss, and it was only due to court intervention that these elections are being held.
Warring provided detailed accounts of how Congress candidates have faced intimidation during the nomination process for the Zila Parishad and Block Samiti elections.
He expressed serious concerns that the nomination papers of those who managed to submit them could be rejected during scrutiny, as the ruling party has effectively taken control of the election process.
