AAP staring at a huge loss in Jalandhar by poll: MLA Vikramjit Singh Chaudhary

Phillaur : Phillaur MLA Vikramjit Singh Chaudhary said on Sunday that the people were fed up with the Bhagwant Mann government and the Aam Aadmi Party was staring at a huge loss in the Jalandhar Lok Sabha by election.
He said as the fear of losing Jalandhar by poll right after the last year’s Sangrur defeat grips the AAP leaders, they are resorting to intimidation of voters and misuse of government machinery.
Addressing election meetings in Rasulpur, Bhar Singh Pura, Dhak Majara, Mandi, Jhuggian Maha Singh, Muthadda Kalan, Atta and Goraya of Phillaur assembly constituency, MLA Chaudhary said that an anti-AAP wave was running through every street, ward and village of Jalandhar Parliamentary constituency, and scared of the huge defeat, the AAP government was indulging in intimidation tactics through police and BDPOs.
He said the AAP leadership is so frightened that even their supremo Arvind Kejriwal threatened the voters of Jalandhar to vote for them, but, he said, Punjabis are very self-respecting people and cannot be browbeaten by someone who gave them fake guarantees.
Criticizing Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for attempting to muzzle the voice of Balkaur Singh Sidhu, MLA Chaudhary stated that CM Mann could not even stomach the crowd gathered to support Sidhu Moosewala’s father’s cry for justice in Jalandhar’s Rama Mandi area.
“CM Bhagwant Mann’s police threatened the people gathered and asked them to leave so that they could not stand with Sardar Balkaur Singh ji, but the people will not tolerate the tyranny of the AAP government and teach them a befitting lesson in the by poll,” he said.
MLA Chaudhary said that after losing the Sangrur by poll last year, the AAP is set to face a huge defeat in the Jalandhar by poll as well. “The government has tried to intimidate everyone – the councillors, sarpanches, panches, voters, etc but this kind of politics failed in Punjab earlier and will fail in this by election also,” he added.
He said that before the assembly elections last year, the AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal used to ask for one opportunity at governance in Punjab, but now, even after a series of failures in more than a year’s tenure, he is shamelessly asking for another year in the by poll.
But, MLA Chaudhary said, the people have rejected the ‘Ad Aadmi Party’ and are ready to vote for Congress candidate Karamjit Kaur Chaudhary on May 10.
