New Delhi, July 17
BJP’s Punjab unit president Ashwani Kumar Sharma today attacked Congress and CM Capt Amarinder Singh, claiming people were “acutely suffering” because of complete absence of governance.
Talking to The Tribune after a meeting with BJP’s national president JP Nadda, Sharma said lawlessness had been the “order of the day”, as no one felt safe in the state. In the name of farmers’ protest, the way BJP leaders and workers were being tortured was for all to see, Sharma said, adding: “Our 33 workers were tortured in Rajpura and dharnas are being staged before residences of BJP leaders. These are the issues that we discussed with Nadda. The party has asked us to remain united and work together to defeat the forces of anarchy.”
Terming the differences between Capt and Navjot Sidhu as “shadow boxing”, he said: “Things have come to such a pass that it is immaterial who occupies the PCC chief’s post. Even if they make four or five presidents, it won’t help them turn the tide in their favour.” — TNS
