Chandigarh: Rejecting the AAP MLA Bharaj’s claim, Haryana CM Saini said, in reply to a question by media persons, “I don’t even know her name or which assembly constituency she represents. Today, the media is everywhere, and there are CCTV cameras everywhere. Photos would have come out in public if any such meeting had taken place.”“However, I would say that we respect the people of Punjab, and if they invite me for events there, I get a chance to go to the neighbouring state. I observed that the people of Punjab are not happy with the performance of the AAP. They made big pre-poll promises, but in the last 4 years, they disappointed people. Farmers are unhappy as they don’t get a fair price for their crops and face problems in the mandis. They made similar allegations in Delhi also, and people later rejected them as Jhooth Ki Dukaan.“
Asked if political parties in Punjab don’t appreciate his visits to the state, he said, “We have a strong bond with Punjab because when Haryana was carved out, two brothers were separated. Be it the Congress or AAP in Punjab, they made false promises to people, and voters are disappointed with them. People are keen to bring in Modi-led BJP in Punjab.”
