Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar questions absence of Raghav Chadha as elections approach

Chandigarh, March 18: Taking a dig at the seemingly forced absence of Raghav Chadha at this critical juncture just ahead for the Lok Sabha elections 2024, Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar has asked Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to come clean on reasons behind "internal rift and rebellion within the party".

"Raghav ji has been the apple of Kejriwal's eye so much so that he has been acting as the super CM in Punjab demeaning elected CM Bhagwant Mann; and now his removal from the scene with the Lok Sabha elections already announced raises genuine doubts about rumblings within AAP," he claimed.  

"If there is some health issue, I wish Raghav ji speedy recovery," quipped Sunil Jakhar. He was interacting with mediapersons here after welcoming new members into the party fold.  

To a query, Sunil Jakhar said the level of infighting within AAP was such that eight seats announced by them would see a change of candidates. "You will see a change of candidates on most of these seats as faces announced have been rejected by their party cadre," he claimed. 

"The secret live-in of AAP and the Congress has been exposed and both must declare their formal marriage and stop assuming Punjabis are ignorant of their surreptitious deal to loot Punjab,"said Jakhar. 

Coming down heavily on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for trying to portray himself "as a victim in face of imminent criminal action in the excise policy case, the BJP leader said rejection of bail plea and quashing of charges against Satyender Jain by the Supreme Court in the same case corroborated instance of massive corruption in the policy.
