Tarn Taran: In a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its leaders, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said that the Arvind Kejriwal-led party was a "disarrayed force", one that lacked a development-oriented ideology. 

"AAP is a disarrayed force and is bereft of any pro-people or development-oriented ideology," Badal said in Khadoor Sahib today. 

Targetting the leaders of the party, Badal also questioned the "qualification and strategy" of AAP. "Antecedents and future planning of these people who claim themselves to be common man were not known to anybody," the Punjab CM said, referring to AAP leaders. 

He also criticised the AAP government in Delhi and attacked Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. "The Delhi Chief Minister had announced to hold 'Janta Darbars' for redressing the grievances of people, but this never turned into a reality," he alleged, adding that the interactive programme could only be successfully held by those public representatives who knew the problems of the masses, not by those who don't, he said. 

The strong criticism of AAP from Badal comes days after after Kejriwal had on December 5 exuded confidence that his party would sweep the next Punjab Assembly election.

Badal also took on his party's arch-rival the state, Congress, saying its leaders were also "averse" to the idea of meeting with the people and that is why they had "never" come out of their "posh" residences to interact with them.

 
“These leaders used the mandate just for enjoying fruits of power rather than working for the development of the state and prosperity of its people,” he said.
