Kejriwal’s alleged supervision of Punjab’s affairs rakes up a controversy

Opposition Parties in Punjab lashed out at Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann after Aam Admi Party National Convener Arvind Kejriwal reportedly met the state officials in Delhi to discuss the power situation in the state – in the absence of Mr. Mann.

The meeting with Punjab state power corporation limited officials and the Delhi Chief Minister supposedly took place on Monday, a day before Mr. Bhagwant Mann met Mr. Kejriwal in Delhi.

BJP, Congress, and Shiromani Akali Dal leaders found fault with the ‘remote control’ rule.

Worst was feared, worst happened. @ArvindKejriwal has taken over Punjab much before it was expected to happen. That @BhagwantMann is a rubber stamp was a foregone conclusion already, now Kejriwal has proved it right by chairing Punjab officers' meeting in Delhi.

After AAP won Punjab, Bhagwant Mann is either seen accompanying Arvind Kejriwal in poll bound states or on TV. All that his Govt has done is filed frivolous FIRs against BJP leaders. How long will the CM of Punjab remain beholden to his political master and not serve the people?

However, not heeding the controversy, the AAP leader tweeted that together they would change Delhi, Punjab, and the whole country.

Meanwhile, the Punjab Chief Minister had announced that there is ‘good news’ ahead, sparking rumors of free electricity up to 300 units of usage per household, in line with AAP’s campaign promise.
