Akali leaders joining Congress as part of tacit pact: Arvind Kejriwal

TANGRA(AMRITSAR): Kicking off his six-day Punjab visit on Friday, national convener of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Arvind Kejriwal slammed both the SAD-BJP alliance and the Congress leaders and accused them of being hand in glove. He alleged said that they were out to save each other from the clutches of law “despite here being numerous evidence sufficient to nail them in the court of law”.
“SAD-BJP alliance and the Congress have reached a secret pact to contest 2017 assembly polls by fielding candidates with mutual understanding.Hence they are not taking action against each other’s tainted leaders,” alleged Kejriwal while addressing a gathering here on Friday.
“Even the recent exodus of certain Akali leaders to the Congress was initiated with a tacit understanding so as to prop up Captain Amarinder Singh in Punjab,” he claimed.
“According to the secret pact, Badal government has withdrawn corruption case against Captain Amarinder Singh in Amritsar court,” alleged Kejriwal while asking, “What has prevented Akalis from arresting Captain Amarinder Singh, who, along with his family members, has been slapped with a chargesheet by the income tax department for having Swiss Bank accounts.”
Not stopping at that, he said, “When the Congress government was at the Centre for 10 years, it failed to act against Bikram Singh Majithia for his involvement in the multi-crore drug racket.”
The Delhi chief minister said, “At the same time, Majithia was saved by none other than Captain Amarinder Singh when his own party was demanding CBI probe against him (Majithia) for his involvement in the synthetic drugs racket.”
He alleged that both the SAD-BJP alliance and the Congress knew that they wouldn’t be able to form the next government in Punjab, so they had decided to field the candidates with mutual understanding.
The AAP supremo also read out, what he claimed were the Swiss bank account numbers of Amarinder’s son Raninder Singh and wife Parneet Kaur as well as their joint account, in which the family had amassed their wealth.
