Former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh has alleged that the BJP did not consult him on matters concerning Punjab, prompting criticism from the AAP, which called him opportunistic.
Former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh has publicly stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) did not seek his views on key issues affecting the state. The claim came during a press briefing where Singh highlighted the lack of consultation on policy matters that directly impact Punjab.
In response, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) criticized Singh, labeling him as opportunistic for making the claim. The party’s spokesperson urged the public to scrutinize Singh’s motives amid the ongoing political developments in the state.
The statement adds to the growing tension between regional leaders and the BJP, as Punjab’s political landscape remains highly competitive. Observers note that Singh’s remarks could influence voter perceptions ahead of upcoming elections.
While no official BJP response has been issued yet, the incident underscores the importance of intra-party communication and the role of former leaders in shaping public discourse.
