Earlier, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini on Friday criticised the AAP government in Punjab, accusing them of lying about farmer aid.
During a press conference, CM Saini cited earlier statements by AAP leaders and expressed surprise at the scale of alleged lies. Saini claimed that Bhagwant Mann and Arvind Kejriwal made false claims about assistance given to farmers.
"Bhagwant Mann says he gave Rs 20,000 per acre to farmers. In Gujarat, Arvind Kejriwal says he gave Rs 15,000 per acre. I am surprised that they are telling such a big lie," said Saini.
He accused Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal of "betraying" the people of Punjab through lies regarding farmer compensation for land.
Saini highlighted that the Haryana government provided ₹1,400 crore aid to farmers, contrasting it with Punjab's alleged betrayal.
He urged Punjab's people to support the BJP, stating that Punjab's future lies with the party"I want to tell the people of Punjab that the decision you made, the government you formed with such enthusiasm, has betrayed you", he claimed.
He targeted the AAP leaders over their statements during the flooding in Punjab last year. (ANI)
