Challenging his Delhi counterpart to cite even a single case in which he (Amarinder) backed down under pressure from ED or any other agency, Punjab’s chief minister pointed out that from Operation Bluestar to SYL and now to the issue of farm laws, it always had. the right thing to do on the part of his people, in stark contrast to Kejriwal, who had all seen Punjab cower in fear of a petty defamation case and all of Delhi had seen the Center ask for help amid the pandemic.
Claiming that the whole world had seen how Kejriwal had sold farmers’ interests by notifying one of the black agricultural laws in the national capital at a time when farmers were preparing to march to Delhi, Captain Amarinder said that the chief minister Delhi had set their own “stage” with the central government with this act.
“Why did you do that, Kejriwal? What pressure did the Center have on you? Or is it so you can go back to humbling yourself with them the next time your pathetic government falters to handle the Covid crisis, as you have done twice already? Amarinder asked Kejriwal, accusing the national AAP convener of his endless saga of lies.
