Sukhbir Singh Badal terms Arvind Kejriwal "biggest enemy" of Punjab

JALANDHAR: Accusing AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal of taking u-turn twice on Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal issue and claiming the right of Delhi and other states on river waters of Punjab, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today termed him the state's "biggest enemy".

Kejriwal is the "biggest enemy of Punjab" as he had taken u-turn twice on the SYL issue and claimed the right of Delhi and other states on the river waters of Punjab, he alleged.

"Due to the anti-Punjab stance adopted by AAP, its political graph is waning and the party will not be able to open its account in the upcoming assembly elections," Sukhbir claimed.

He alleged that there is a secret pact between AAP and Congress for which a "weak candidate" has been nominated to fight in Patiala assembly constituency against Amarinder Singh.

"With an aim to become the Chief Minister of Punjab, Kejriwal has ensured defeat of AAP leaders Bhagwant Mann and Himmat Singh Shergill by announcing their candidature from Jalalabad and Majitha assembly constituency respectively," Sukhbir alleged.

"Having a dictator's credentials, the Delhi Chief Minister has foiled the entry of cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu in his party fearing that the latter might replace him," he alleged.

Hitting out at Congress, Sukhbir claimed, "This anti-Sikh party has collapsed in the state due to groupism and weak leadership at the national level. Every leader in Congress has his/her own group and everyone has the ambition to be the Chief Minister of Punjab."
