Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, During her press conference in Ludhiana, targeted the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Arvind Kejriwal, stating that new cases have been filed against Kejriwal and his team in Delhi for corruption. She added that party leaders currently out on bail could soon face imprisonment. She also held meetings in support of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Jiwan Gupta for the Ludhiana West bypoll, which is scheduled for June 19.

She also criticised the AAP-led Punjab government for failing to fulfill its promise of providing Rs 1,000 per month to women in the state, even after more than three years in power.

“After the Delhi debacle, Kejriwal along with his team fled to Punjab. He has reduced Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann to a rubber stamp and is himself running the government. He has adjusted his loyals in different departments of the Punjab government,” she said.

Criticising the former AAP government in Delhi, she said the party failed to present a single Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report in the Assembly over the past decade, whereas the BJP has already presented six.

Referring to former Delhi minister Manish Sisodia’s alleged failure to respond to summons in the classroom irregularities case, she said that “the law will take its own course against corruption.”

She also raised concerns about stubble burning in the state, the drug nexus, excessive advertising expenses previously incurred in Delhi, and Arvind Kejriwal’s silence on Operation Sindoor, launched by the BJP government.

“ Kejriwal did not utter a single word in support of the army, rather their leaders made derogatory remarks against the army,” she said. 

“Delhi people took 10 years to send Kejriwal out of power, but Punjabis are wiser enough to make a good choice. They have understood completely that the time has come to give farewell to the AAP government from here as well,” she further added.

Earlier in the day, the Chief Minister, speaking to reporters in Karnal, said that Delhi and Haryana share a “strong relationship” and that Haryana will play a key role in Delhi’s development.

“I believe that development happens through coordinated efforts with organisations. Delhi and Haryana share very strong relationships, which enables the progress of both states. I believe Haryana will continue to support Delhi, and Haryana will play a key role in Delhi’s development,” CM Gupta said.

During her visit to Karnal, Gupta met with the city’s mayor and local BJP leaders.

“Karnal is a very beautiful city. The city is well-maintained, clean, and organised. Earlier, Manohar Lal Khattar was the MLA from here, and now Jagmohan ji holds the position. The way everyone works together as a team is helping the city and the state move forward,” she added.

The AAP responded, “If she is praising Haryana so much, then why doesn’t she get water from them? People of Delhi are suffering due to the water crisis and power cuts, and the Delhi CM is busy campaigning in Haryana and Punjab.”
