Bhagwant Mann playing political gimmickry, Punjab knows him as a comic character : Chugh

Chandigarh, Dec 6:

BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh today slammed AAP leader Bhagwant Mann for playing political gimmickry to strengthen his position within AAP.

Reacting to his claim that the BJP offered him huge money and a cabinet berth in the Centre to win him over Chugh said Punjab knows it well that Bhagwant Mann is a comic character and even in the Lok Sabha his actions have been branded as jovial and non-serious.

Chugh challenged Mann to name the BJP leader if he was a true Punjabi. “His gimmickry is only meant to build pressure on Arvind Kejriwal so that Mann is declared the Sikh chief minister face of the party as soon as possible which is nothing but cheap political coming from a comic character”, he said.

While asserting there was a long queue of leaders from other political parties who were keen to join the BJP, Chugh said Mann should stop defaming the BJP for his political survival.

Chugh said the BJP never indulged in such small-time political activities of bribing leaders in other parties. The BJP was a disciplined party where workers are respected and honoured for their sacrifice and commitment , he added.
