“Kejriwal, who used to wear chappals, now flies in a helicopter”: Former CM Channi accuses AAP of being anti-Dalit

Ludhiana: Former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi has made a serious allegation against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal of being anti-Dalit and anti-poor. He said that despite the promise made before the 2022 assembly elections, the party did not make a single Dalit leader the Deputy Chief Minister.

Channi, referring to the Kabir Jayanti program organized in Jalandhar on Wednesday, said that both Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Arvind Kejriwal were present there but did not attend the program. Channi alleged, “The program was in the memory of Guru Kabir and was located just three kilometers away, but both the leaders returned after spending time in a nearby factory.” He said that when the Congress government was in power, Kabir Bhawan was built in Jalandhar at a cost of Rs 12 crore. But the current AAP government is neglecting such religious and social places. The machines bought by the Congress government for cleaning the Sarovar of Lord Valmiki Tirtha in Amritsar have not been used till now.

Channi said that the plan of a research centre based on the life of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar at a cost of Rs 100 crore has also been ignored by the AAP government. This centre was to be built in the Technical University of Kapurthala.

The former Chief Minister claimed that during his tenure, he had handed over a cheque of Rs 25 crore for a study centre based on the teachings of Guru Ravidas ji at Dera Sachkhand Ballan. But Arvind Kejriwal took back that cheque. He said, “Now before the Lok Sabha elections, Kejriwal and Mann again reached the Dera with the same cheque, but the amount has not been released yet.” Channi also alleged that before the elections, women were made to fill forms by promising them Rs 1,000 every month, but even after 40 months, no one received the amount.
