Notice diversionary tactics by AAP govt to hide its failures, says Warring

Daring Mann to prove his allegations, Warring also accused the Mann dispensation of spending huge amounts of public money on its publicity.

The AAP is trying to distract the people of Punjab, he said. Instead of concentrating on development and progress of the state, and prosperity and wellbeing of its people, the Mann government is busy “shielding the corrupt and squandering the state exchequer for self-promotion”, the Congress leader said.

“In the last more than 15 months of its misrule, the visionless AAP leadership has only burdened the state and wasted Rs 900 crore of taxpayers money to spread fake lies and validate its false claims,” Warring said.
Mann had made claims of corruption against former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi but “failed” to prove any, and now, he is using the same tactics against Randhawa and he will fail again, he said.

“Bhagwant Mann is using dictatorial means to stifle the voice of the opposition,” said Warring, adding that the AAP government was using the state machinery to suppress and intimidate anyone who questions the leadership or raises voice against it.

He said the Punjab unit of the Congress will soon kick start ‘pol khol’ campaign to “expose the reality of Aam Aadmi Clinics and how the ruling government is playing with the lives of the people and wasting tax payers’ money”.

Addressing a press conference on Monday, Warring said, “Health infrastructure in Punjab has deteriorated since the AAP came to power. Once Punjab had the most robust medical infrastructure in the country and several hospitals were even awarded by the Central government for their outstanding services. It is ironical to see that today the government claims to have overhauled the entire system when in reality, people are being deprived of basic healthcare services in the dispensaries and hospitals where medicines are not available and there is an acute shortage of staff, including doctors.”
