Reminds, they were part of Congress Amit Shah abused
Says, there were more Congress leaders than from BJP on Shah’s stage
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today questioned the conscience of all those former Congressmen who were sitting at the Bharatiya Janata Party’s stage while the union Home Minister Amit Shah was criticising the party.
He said all these leaders, before joining the BJP, were part of the same Congress, Shah abused in their presence. “The criticism was directed as much against them as other Congressmen since they were also part of the Congress”, he remarked.
“There were more Congressmen who shared the dais with Shah than his own BJP people”, Warring noted, while pointing out, right from the state BJP president Sunil Jakhar, who was earlier the Punjab Congress president to Ms Preneet Kaur, Manpreet Singh Badal, Ravneet Singh Bittu, Rana Sodhi and others, who occupied the stage, belonged to the Congress and enjoyed power and glory in the party, while the traditional BJP leaders were completely sidelined.
“IF the Congress was so bad, as Shah would make everyone believe, then how come the BJP was full of people from the Congress?” he asked, while adding, this only revealed the double standards of the party, which not only steals elections, but also steals leaders from other parties, particularly the Congress, using multiple means and methods.
The PCC president challenged the BJP to ensure that all those leaders who shared the dais with Shah will remain in the party till the time of elections, as they also realize where the party stands in Punjab. “Withdraw their security paraphernalia of CISF staff today and see how long they will remain in the BJP”, he challenged the union Home Minister.
