Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab President and MP Bhagwant Mann levelled serious allegations on Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh

Chandigarh: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab President and MP Bhagwant Mann has levelled serious allegations on Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, calling him as a puppet in the hands of the Modi Government at the Centre.

Mann said that Captain Amarinder Singh had bartered the interest of Punjab due to his personal 'weaknesses' and to protect the members of his family involved in serious cases of money laundering.

In a statement issued from the party headquarters, Bhagwant Mann said, "As the Chief Minister of Punjab Captain Amarinder Singh should tell the people of Punjab, especially the farmers, what decisive steps you have taken for the farmers in the four years of governance and during the ongoing Kisan movement? Why don't you utter a word against Prime Minister Narendra Modi  supporting the cause of the farmers?"

The AAP MP said that if the Chief Minister of Delhi could go to the agitating farmers and speak in support of their demands, besides providing them all kinds of facilities at the 'dharna' sites, why was Captain Amarinder Singh not moving out of his royal farmhouse and speak in favour of the farmers fighting for their bread and butter on the Delhi border in the cold nights of December?

Bhagwant Mann on the occasion said that the personal 'weaknesses' and political compulsions of Captain Amarinder Singh had emboldened the Modi government to arm twist Punjab and its people, adding that a number of cases of misappropriation of funds and ED's notices to members of the family foreign bank accounts and Pakistani guests were just to name a few among them, which had made Captain Amarinder Singh a puppet of the Modi-Shah duo.

The state president said that Captain Amarinder Singh had been a part of the conspiracy to mislead farmers and weaken the ongoing peasant movement by standing in favor of the Centre, which pushed the black agricultural laws since the beginning, apparently to protect him and his family from the cases of corruption they are involved in.
