BARNALA: Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal has ruled out any alliance with the Congress for the upcoming parliamentary elections and made scathing attacks on Congress and BJP. There were talks of forming mahagathbandhan(grand alliance)to defeat BJP but AAP declined to be part of it. Kejriwal said that in the last 70 years the Congress and BJP has done nothing than minting money but we do work and think for the prosperity of the country. He was talking to media persons at the end of his day-long Punjab visit on Sunday.

Kejriwal taking on Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh said that “he(Amarinder)had promised to give exemplary punishment to those behind incidents of sacrilege especially at Bargari, as now the report his own formed Justice(retired)Ranjit Singh commission is out wherein the names of some senior police officers have come out in the open (due to leaking of report) and the report points towards Badals, now Amarinder Singh government should take action. The state government, however, is trying to hush up or prolong action and has handed over the report to CBI. We want that report should be tabled and punish all those who are responsible.

Kejriwal said that “Captain had made lots of poll promises which remain unfulfilled. He had promised debt waiver, he had promised a job in every family and unemployment allowance till jobs are not given, he had promised smartphones but no promise has been fulfilled. The people of Punjab are angry with this government and they are already angry with SAD. Comparing to it the Delhi government has done a lot in last three and half years. We have done a lot in strengthening the health and education sectors which is for everyone to see. We invite Captain Amarinder to see as to how the government schools, hospitals, and mohalla clinics work”. There is a dire need to strengthen these core sectors of health and education. If the Captain government does not know how to work we can send Manish Sisodia in Punjab for 10 days to tell the government how these institutions could be strengthened, said Kejriwal.

Kejriwal taking the queries about the split in the party said that “I have asked the party MLAs to talk to those MLAs of the party who are angry with the party and prevail upon them to come back. Pointing towards the ousted leader of opposition Sukhpal Khaira, He said that “I have deputed some MLAs to talk to him and I too will talk to him. We are concerned for the betterment of Punjab and for it we will put a united face”, he said.
