| Punjab employees plan ‘pol khol’ rallies against AAP in poll bound HP | | ‘Party can’t hoodwink J&K people as they can easily distinguish between truth and blatant lies’ | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 20: The Aam Admi Party (AAP) government in Punjab has once again been caught on the wrong foot as the Punjab state employees, who have been on strike since October 10 have decided to puncture the tall promises of the party by organizing “pol khol” rallies in the poll bound Himachal Pradesh.
During its election campaign this February, one of the Aam Aadmi Party’s key poll promises in Punjab was to revive the old pension scheme in the first month of coming to power. Seven months since, despite Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s announcement in September that the party was “considering” restoring the scheme, it remains in the discussions stage.
Since October 10, thirty seven employee unions have been protesting demanding fast-tracking of the process and are planning to take their protest to poll-bound Himachal Pradesh, where AAP has said that, if elected, it would implement it within three months.
An analyst while talking to Early Times said, “The AAP leaders are making false promises in Himachal Pradesh just to lure the voters and its nothing else. What the party couldn’t implement in Punjab cannot be implemented in Hiimachal Pradesh.”
He said, “Party may make similar promises with the people of J&K in the near future but its leaders should understand that J&K people can easily distinguish between the rhetoric and the truth. They cannot be fed with mere slogans and blatant lies.”
It’s in place to mention here that AAP had announced its arrival in J&K with a big bang after the party won the assembly elections in Puinjab. It had claimed that the party would emerge as a viable alternative for the people of Jammu region but it has failed to make any impact on the ground. Many leaders from Jammu had joined AAP with a hope that they would get a platform to raise the issues of people but most of them have developed cold feet due to the cold response given by the AAP top leadership and its ministers being involved in scams in Delhi.
Another analyst said, “The arrival of Aam Admi Party in J&K is of no significance as it has been proven beyond doubt that it believes in making hollow promises and lack sincerity.” |
