Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Wednesday said, “If Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal told Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) workers to turn violent, AAP workers will not stay alive.”

She said this while accusing Aam Aadmi Party (MP) Bhagwant Mann of encouraging voters to turn violent ahead of the Punjab elections.

A few days ago, stones hurled at the convoy of Punjab deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal in Fazilka district and on Wednesday, a show was thrown at the CM Parkash Singh Badal in his segment, Lambi, in Muktsar.

Wednesday’s incident has been linked to Sikh radicals, while the earlier incident was attributed to the AAP by the Akalis. Mann, however, has denied any involvement.

She spoke about the welfare schemes launched by the state government and also urged the people of Punjab to stay away from AAP and Arvind Kejriwal.

“A Haryanvi and now the chief minister of Delhi, Kejriwal is an alien to our culture. He has double standards on issues like SYL canal, concerning Punjab.”

She also criticised state Congress chief Captain Amarinder Singh and Congress national vice-president Rahul Gandhi for “defaming” the state on the drug issue.

“After 1984, Punjabis were labelled as terrorists across the nation. Now they are labelled as drug addicts, thanks to the Congress party,” she said.
