AAP Punjab President Aman Arora Tears Into Pratap Bajwa, Calls Him a BJP Loyalist in the Making

Chandigarh, February 24, 2025: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab President Aman Arora launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Pratap Bajwa, alleging that his transition to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is almost certain. Referring to Bajwa’s recent political behavior and alleged secret meetings in Bengaluru, Arora accused him of betraying the mandate and focusing solely on his personal ambitions.

"Pratap Bajwa has already secured his advance booking with the BJP. I urge Rahul Gandhi to question Bajwa about what he was doing in Bengaluru recently and which senior BJP leaders he met there," said Aman Arora. "It’s clear his script is prepared in BJP's offices, much like his brother who already joined the BJP."

Highlighting Bajwa's baseless allegations against the AAP government, Arora stated, "Bajwa is spreading rumors and indulging in frivolous statements that hold no merit. The Congress leader doesn’t even know the whereabouts of his own MLAs—he lost Sandeep Jakhar to the BJP, and yet he talks about destabilizing our government. His claims are laughable and lack any factual basis."

Arora dismissed Bajwa's threats to destabilize the AAP government as ludicrous. "The AAP government in Punjab has 94 MLAs. Even if Bajwa’s imaginary tally of 32 MLAs were subtracted, we would still have 62 MLAs—a comfortable majority. Meanwhile, Bajwa’s Congress has just 15 MLAs. If you add another 32 to his count, they still wouldn't be able to form a government. This shows the level of desperation and delusion he’s operating under," added Arora.

Continuing his fiery remarks, Arora advised Bajwa to focus on managing his own party, which is grappling with internal chaos. "The Congress party is in complete disarray. Every MLA there aspires to be a chief minister or party president. Bajwa should spend his energy saving his own sinking ship instead of peddling baseless rumors about our government."

Arora also emphasized the positive work of the AAP government in Punjab. "Our government is committed to serving the people of Punjab and will continue to deliver on its promises. We are here for the long haul and will return with an even stronger mandate in 2027. The people of Punjab recognize our good governance."

AAP Leader Neel Garg: Bajwa’s BJP Move Imminent

Echoing Aman Arora’s statements, AAP senior leader Neel Garg accused Pratap Bajwa of prioritizing his political ambitions over his responsibilities as the Leader of Opposition. Garg alleged that Bajwa’s move to the BJP is inevitable, given his recent meetings with senior BJP leaders in Bengaluru.

"Bajwa’s entry into the BJP is a foregone conclusion. He has already made advance arrangements to secure a BJP ticket. Rahul Gandhi should immediately question him about his secret meetings in Bengaluru and why he is betraying the Congress party," said Garg in a video statement.

Garg also ridiculed Bajwa for his failure to lead a constructive opposition, stating, "The people of Punjab expect a responsible opposition, not someone who spends his time spreading baseless rumors and playing petty politics. Bajwa’s actions only expose his desperation and lack of commitment to public service."
