Mukerian, January 12 – The People’s Party of Punjab (PPP) suffered a jolt today with its 151 activists, led by party’s senior executive member, joining the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) at a function here. They said PPP chief Manpreet Badal had let them down by remaining tight-lipped over the “wrongdoings” of the SAD-BJP Government.
Sulakhan Singh alias Jaggi, state president of the Akhil Bharatiya Kashatriya Mahasabha, also claimed to have joined AAP with his 250 supporters.
Vijay Kumar, president of the Vatavaran Bachao Joint Committee, criticised the PPP leadership for not raising its voice against the Punjab Government’s move to set up a thermal power plant in Hazipur. He too joined AAP along with his supporters.
Harjit Bains, AAP state convener, secretary SK Handa, Col Baldev Singh, district in charge, and Naveen Jerath welcomed the new members and asked them to launch a door-to-door drive for educating the people on their fight against corruption.
Hoshiarpur: At the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) meeting at Dausya on Sunday, more than 100 people joined the party. A four-member committee was formed to look after the party affairs in Dasuya. Former BJP activist Kailash Chander Bassi and Ripudaman Singh was among those to join the party. The latter’s father Upjit Singh Teetu has been PPCC secretary.
