Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Friday said both the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) are ‘a bunch of hypocrites’ whose ‘double standards’ on the farm laws had exposed their lack of commitment to the farmers.
“AAP and SAD MLAs never say what they mean, and vice versa,” remarked the Punjab Chief Minister after the launch of the second phase of Punjab Smart Connect Scheme in Mohali near Chandigarh.
When his government passed Bills in the Vidhan Sabha to negate the Centre’s farm laws, both AAP and SAD MLAs extended support, but then both the parties changed their tune to suit their political interests, said Capt Amarinder Singh. “And now, in a bid to exploit the farmers’ agitation, they have again done a U-turn on the issue and are projecting themselves as the messiahs of the farmers, whose interests both parties had been instrumental in pawning off to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),” he quipped.
