Chandigarh, Congress leader Pratap Singh Bajwa on Saturday took a dig at the AA for fielding three "borrowed" leaders in Punjab in the Lok Sabha elections.
The leader of the opposition in the Punjab Assembly also criticized AAP for its "failure" to field a woman candidate.
Bajwa alleged in a statement, "It is as absurd as it sounds that AAP has been in active politics for more than 10 years. However, it could not develop its party cadre at the grassroots level. This is the only The reason is that AAP could not do it." The basis of development is that the people of Punjab still do not trust the party.
The Congress leader said AAP has fielded three "borrowed" candidates - former Congress leaders Raj Kumar Chabbewal from Hoshiarpur and Gurpreet Singh GP from Fatehgarh Sahib, and Pawan Kumar Tinu from Jalandhar, who was earlier in the Shiromani Akal Dal.
Bajwa also pointed to AAP fielding ministers and MLAs on other seats.
He said that it is very unfortunate for AAP because it did not give representation to women in the Lok Sabha elections.
Bajwa said, "The party which often talks about women empowerment and equality could not get a single woman candidate. Earlier, the party had not given representation to women in the Rajya Sabha."
"If we look at the 2014 Lok Sabha elections a decade ago, AAP had lost most of its candidates, leaders and even MPs. Harinder Singh Khalsa, Such Singh Chhotepur, Harvinder Singh Phoolka, Dharamvira Gandhi, Baldeep Singh And many other leaders have severed their ties with AAP.
Voting for 13 Lok Sabha seats of Punjab will be held on June 1.
