On the other hand, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab affairs co-in-charge and MLA from Delhi, Raghav Chadha has accused the Congress government of betrayal with Punjab. He said that the Ghar-Ghar Rozgar campaign of the Congress government may be false for three crore people of Punjab, but it is like a golden opportunity for the leaders of the ruling Congress; because like the Captain government of the Congress, now the Channi government has also started giving government appointments to son-in-laws, daughters and sons of its leaders.
Raghav Chadha said that the latest issue is the appointment of Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa’s son-in-law Tarun Vir Singh Lehal in the Punjab Home Ministry. The Congress government on Monday appointed Tarun Vir Singh Lehal as Additional Advocate General (AAG). “Why the government of Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, who pretended to think about the interest of the people of Punjab, not remember the lakhs of unemployed people of the state, before giving this appointment to their son-in-law?
The AAP leader said that the people of Punjab are well aware of the betrayal being committed by the Congress with the state. Chadha said that lakhs of unemployed people of Punjab are questioning the Congress government that the degrees and experience they have; they have also been obtained from the colleges and universities of Punjab, but in which merit list Tarun Vir Singh Lehal has topped, it should also be told.
