TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Attacking Arvind Kejriwal after he was virtually declared as AAP’s chief ministerial candidate for Punjab, state Congress President Amarinder Singh today said if the “nefarious design succeeds”, for the first time in the history of the state, it will end up with a “Haryanvi chief minister”.
Reacting sharply to AAP leader Manish Sisodia’s remarks at a rally in Mohali asking people to vote for Kejriwal, Amarinder said the Delhi Chief Minister wants to grab power by hook or crook.
“Kejriwal’s ugly intentions have been thoroughly exposed with this development, which had shown what a slimy liar the Delhi chief minister is…Kejriwal has finally exposed his obsessive and abominable lust for Punjab’s chief ministerial position,” he said in a statement.
“From his lies on chief ministerial and deputy chief ministerial posts for Punjab to his conflicting statements on SYL (canal) and other issues, Kejriwal has all along been trying to befool the people in a desperate bid to seize power in the state and exploit it for personal gains,” he said.
