Arvind Kejriwal can be found at terrorists' homes: Rahul Gandhi in Punjab

| @indiablooms | Feb 16, 2022, at 03:26 am

Chandigarh/IBNS: In a high pitch campaign ahead of Punjab assembly elections, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on Aam Aadmi Party supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday for being 'soft on terrorists' and not so trustworthy on national security.

"Whatever happens, a leader of Congress will never be seen at the house of a terrorist. The biggest leader of the Jhaadu (the election symbol of the AAP) can be found at the home of a terrorist. That's the truth," Gandhi said at a rally in Punjab's Barnala.

The remark is seen as a dig at Kejriwal who had stayed overnight at the residence of a former Khalistani terrorist in Punjab's Moga during the 2017 elections.

Taking on Kejriwal, the Congress MP claimed those seeking "one chance" to form the government will "destroy Punjab" and the state "will burn".

"Punjab is a border and sensitive state and only the Congress party understands Punjab and can maintain peace in the state... we know if peace is gone then there will be nothing left," he said.

"Those who are making promises to you, saying 'ek baar mauka do', they will destroy Punjab. Punjab will burn, remember my words," said Gandhi.

In his recent campaign, Gandhi also attacked former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, who quit the Congress after a power struggle last year.

Captain Singh was removed by the party last year for hobnobbing with the BJP, Gandhi said, urging party workers to ensure that the Congress comes to power with a majority and wins 70-80 seats in the 117-member assembly.

Punjab goes to a single-phase election on Sunday.
