Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Saini has accused the Aam Aadmi Party of exploiting Bhagat Singh’s legacy to promise unfulfilled promises in Punjab, calling the tactic disingenuous.
Manohar Lal Saini, the Chief Minister of Haryana, made a public statement at a press conference on Tuesday, accusing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of using the name of revolutionary Bhagat Singh to make promises that he claims are false and unfulfilled in Punjab.
The CM highlighted Bhagat Singh’s legacy as a symbol of sacrifice and national pride, arguing that AAP’s reference to the freedom fighter is a political ploy to gain support in a state where the party has been campaigning for electoral gains.
AAP has been actively contesting elections in Punjab, positioning itself as a reformist alternative to the incumbent government. The party’s leadership has not yet responded to Saini’s allegations.
Political analysts suggest that the accusation may intensify the already tense relationship between the two state governments and could influence voter perception ahead of upcoming elections.
