Chandigarh, December 13, 2016: The desertion of party by its Dalit face AAP Yamini Gomar has once again proved that the credentials of the party bosses are suspect who are indulging in large scale plundering of Punjabis.
Reacting on the development, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, SAD spokesman and advisor to deputy Chief minister Sukhbir Badal, said that Gomar had rightly realized when she described the AAP leadership “anti -Dalit, anti- Sikh and anti- Punjab”.
Gomar had unsuccessfully contested Hoshiarpur Lok Sabha polls as AAP nominee. With her quitting the prime membership of the party, majority of the party’s nominees for 2014 Lok Sabha polls have left the party on bitter note. Even half of elected Lok Sabha members are already estranged and left the party.
The Akali leader said that Gomar has endorsed the SAD position that there was total dictatorship of one individual sans any democracy and there was no space for right kind of thinking people in the party. The volunteers have no place in decision making- even their feedback is not given two hoots and what prevail there are only whims and fancies of the party bosses.
Sirsa said that Gomar’s contention carries weight when she described Arvind Kejriwal anti-dalit and his promise to anoint a “dalit as deputy chief minister of Punjab a “ political stunt” as failed to appoint Harinder Khalsa as leader of parliamentary group in the Lok Sabha. Not surprising that there is no dalit or Sikh in his Delhi cabinet.
However, Sirsa acknowledged that some of the revelations of Gomar are startling as she confirmed that the party volunteers are made to work like slaves and the three Cs “ corruption, crime and characterlessness” are hallmark of the party leadership.
Sirsa said exhorted the AAP activists and volunteers to recognize the real face of their leaders and ssay them goodbye- earliest the better.
