Arvind Kejriwal slams Charanjit Singh Channi-led government in Punjab

|HT|

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Friday slammed the Charanjit Singh Channi-led government in Punjab, saying it is involved in “internal disputes" and that the state needs "a strong and actionable government" adding to the war of words ahead of assembly elections in the state next year. “Yesterday, there was a bomb blast in Ludhiana. People are in shock. The chief minister of Punjab just held a press conference. The people of Punjab expected that the CM would say something about the blast,” the Delhi chief minister said in a tweet in Hindi.

“Channi sahib didn't say a word on blast during the press conference but abused me a lot. Politics during such a difficult time?” he said referring to the Punjab chief minister’s press conference in Chandigarh.

Kejriwal also spoke about the recent sacrilege incidents inside the Golden Temple in Amritsar and another one in Kapurthala.

“First sacrilege, now bomb blast. Some people want to disturb the peace in Punjab. Today there is a very weak government in Punjab which is fighting amongst themselves. To maintain peace in Punjab and to give strict punishment to the culprits, strict and honest government is needed in Punjab,” Kejriwal said in another tweet.
