He pointed out that the Speaker had allotted 16 minutes to the Congress party during the discussion, but Partap Singh Bajwa alone spoke beyond the allocated time and did not allow other Congress MLAs to present their views. \u201cThese MLAs are not even allowed to speak inside the House by Bajwa, and then they come outside and create unnecessary noise,\u201d said Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal.<\/p>\n<p>Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal also objected to Partap Singh Bajwa repeatedly highlighting his past positions such as MP, minister and MLA. He said that such behaviour was inappropriate for the dignity of the House. \u201cThe Vidhan Sabha is not a street corner of Qadian where anyone can say whatever they want without following rules. The House functions under a proper system and discipline,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Targeting the Congress further, the AAP Punjab Chief Spokesperson reminded them of their unfulfilled promises from the 2017 manifesto released under former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh. He challenged the Congress to present that manifesto and have a discussion on how many of those promises were actually fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p>Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal asserted that the AAP is fully prepared for an open debate on promises and performance. \u201cLet us discuss what Congress promised in 2017 and what AAP promised in 2022 and how much we have delivered. We are ready for a debate anywhere, anytime,\u201d said Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AAP ready for open debate on promises &amp; performance of 2017 vs 2022 manifestos: Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal Chandigarh News: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab Chief Spokesperson and MLA Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal criticised the conduct of the Congress party in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, saying that Leader of Opposition (LoP) Partap Singh Bajwa misused the speaking [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":60829,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,21,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-political-news","category-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Congress must present its 2017 manifesto &amp;
