BJP can topple AAP government in Punjab at any time: MP Channi

Jalandhar: Newly elected Jalandhar MP and former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi has claimed that the BJP can topple the Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government in Punjab at any time.

During an interview with a newspaper, Channi said the BJP tried hard to divide the communities, but the voters rejected them.

“The BJP resorted to communalism to divide Hindu and Dalit voters, but they did not succeed as people rejected its ‘divide and rule’ policy,” Channi said.

On the other hand, the voters of Punjab have given a mandate in favor of the Congress due to their disenchantment with the AAP government, he said.

“People remember my 111-day tenure as Chief Minister, and they have seen that AAP has failed to resolve the issues it raised when it came to power.”

Asking Bhagwant Mann to step down, Channi said, “The party leader should have the ability to run the government. I have always said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is still running the stage (as an artist) and not the government. He should leave the post and give someone else a chance to run the government.”
