The ongoing rift between the Aam Aadmi Party reached Rashtrapati Bhavan today. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann along with all his MLAs reached Delhi to meet President Draupadi Murmu.
Before him, Rajya Sabha MPs Raghav Chadda, Sandeep Pathak, Ashok Mittal and Rajendra Gupta, who had left the Aam Aadmi Party, met the President.
Raghav Chadha accused AAP government
After the meeting, MP Raghav Chadha made big allegations against AAP and Punjab government. He said that we told the President how the Punjab government is using the government machinery for dangerous politics of revenge against those MPs who have left AAP and joined BJP. AAP workers, with the help of Punjab Police, had written ‘traitor’ outside the house of World Cup winner Harbhajan Singh.
After this, the water connection of Padmashree Rajendra Gupta’s factory in Punjab was disconnected. AAP also filed malicious and fabricated FIRs against Sandeep Pathak, and spread the word through the media that he would be arrested. I want to tell you that they have started a dangerous game of revenge with the help of Vigilance Board and Pollution Board, but its consequences will be very bad.
According to sources, I am the next target. Punjab government has hired agencies to threaten us on social media. AAP is doing all this using Punjab government funds. This is why I said that AAP is in the hands of corrupt and compromising people.
CM Mann said- Punjab was betrayed
After the meeting, CM Mann said that today in front of the President, we have strongly raised our voice against the ‘murder of democracy’ taking place in the country. Breaking parties in an unconstitutional manner and misusing central agencies like ED-CBI to clean tainted leaders in the BJP’s ‘washing machine’ is a direct violation of our democratic structure.
We have made it clear that the cheap tactics of ‘Operation Lotus’ will never succeed in Punjab. Our MLAs are the voice of millions of Punjabis and Punjabis never tolerate betrayal. Being your public servant, I assure every Punjabi that we will fight till my last breath to protect the people’s mandate and constitutional values.
