Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday rubbished Congress’s claim of dissent in the AAP’s state unit, asserting dedication of its leaders and workers.
His remarks comes after AAP’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal held a meeting with CM Mann, Punjab ministers and MLAs at Kapurthala House in Delhi today amid rumours of dissent in the party’s Punjab unit.
Mann said during the meeting Kejriwal thanked all Punjab ministers and MLAs for campaigning in the Delhi Assembly polls.
Punjab Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa recently claimed that over 30 AAP MLAs of the state’s ruling party were in touch with his party and could switch sides.
Bajwa claimed these MLAs have realised that staying with AAP may not be politically beneficial in the long run.
Hitting out at claims of the Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Assembly, CM Mann said,
“Bajwa has been saying this. He should not count our MLAs and instead see how many MLAs Congress has in Delhi.”
