-CM Bhagwant Mann’s decision to sack minister Vijay Singla is commendable: Malwinder Singh Kang
-Corruption and corrupt persons have no place in AAP: Malwinder Singh Kang
-Politics of Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann is based on honesty: Malwinder Singh Kang
Chandigarh: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab lauded Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for his prompt decision to sack and take legal action against minister Vijay Singla, who is facing corruption charges. Malwinder Singh Kang, AAP Punjab’s chief spokesperson, stated that the Mann government has a zero-tolerance policy for corruption, whether a minister or an MLA, the corrupt will not be spared.
In a statement issued at the party headquarters on Tuesday, Kang said that people have high hopes from the Aam Aadmi Party’s government to root out corruption in the state, and that they will live up to those expectations. He claimed that the Chief Minister has set an example of integrity by dismissing his own cabinet minister, Dr Vijay Singla, who is accused of seeking 1% commission for releasing departmental tenders.
The Chief Minister himself investigated the matter and acquired proof as soon as the complaint was made. Minister Singla was then interrogated and confessed to the same. Dr Vijay Singla was removed from the cabinet by the CM, who also ordered swift legal action. According to the AAP leader, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann would never put up with corruption or corrupt people at any cost, because the Aam Aadmi Party was born out of an anti-corruption movement.
Arvind Kejriwal, the AAP’s national convener and Delhi Chief Minister, dismissed one of his ministers from the Delhi cabinet in 2015 due to allegations of corruption. It is clear that the politics of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is based on honesty. Kang said that the Aam Aadmi Party is the only political party in the country that does not tolerate corruption or corrupt people.
Punjabis do not want a politics of corruption, but rather a politics of honesty.
