AAP humiliating Punjab leaders: Ashu
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate from Ferozepur (rural) constituency in Punjab, Ashu Bangar, on Monday quit the party and joined the Congress, accusing the AAP leadership in Delhi of running the party like a private company.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led party hit back at the Congress, alleging it of sabotaging its candidates under a conspiracy.
Mr. Bangar said Punjabi leaders were facing humiliation at the hands of AAP leaders from Delhi. He said the decisions surrounding the affairs of the State unit were being imposed by the central leadership without taking the members from Punjab into confidence. “Candidates are being threatened to not speak on the pretext that their tickets will be cancelled. Also, the party is working as B-team of the BJP,” Mr. Bangar alleged.
