Time for Bhagwant to focus on Punjab
Chandigarh – Senior congress leader & Punjab’s leader of the opposition (LoP), Partap Singh Bajwa on Thursday said Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has failed to sell Delhi and Punjab models of governance in Gujarat as well as hill state Himachal Pradesh.
Therefore it was time for Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to focus his entire energy & skills to resolve the long pending issues of Punjab which have been ignored over a long period of time.
Bajwa said both Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant tried their level best to hardsell both Delhi & Punjab models to the voters of the western state and to the hill state however they refused to be misled by the false propaganda unleashed by the AAP leaders.
“ Announcing freebies & promising complimentary services to the voters does not always help. The AAP failed to convince people of both the states that they were competent & capable enough to handle full-fledged states which require greater administrative skills and statecraft to resolve sensitive issues than simply doling out free of cost civic amenities”, said Bajwa.
Bajwa said Bhagwant Mann must not squander away the historic mandate people of Punjab have bestowed on him and his party by steering the state out of many critical issues.
Bajwa while hailing congress party’s impressive victory in Himachal Pradesh admitted that party needed to introspect why it failed to put up a similar show in Gujarat where the BJP has been in power for the last 27 years and faced anti incumbency in many parts of the state.
Bajwa said the Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi would surely strengthen the congress party in the days to come. The party needed to gear up and start working for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls from right now as there was not much time left for the preparations.

AAP fails to hardsell Delhi, Punjab models in Gujarat & HP. Huge difference between administering a glorified civic body in Delhi than a full fledged state. Time to be grounded. Mann must not squander away the historic mandate & need to focus on critical & sensitive issues of Punjab.
