The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during his visit to Punjab slammed the Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi; terming him a ‘Nakli Kejriwal’. Speaking at the ‘Third Guarantee Program’ dedicated to women in Moga, Arvind Kejriwal cautioned the people of Punjab to beware of Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi who was pretending to be a common man.Taking a dig, Kejriwal said, “A very important thing is that a ‘Nakli Kejriwal' is roaming in Punjab these days. The promise I (real Kejriwal) made to the people of Punjab, two days later that ‘Nakli Kejriwal’ repeats the same thing; because the real is real and the fake always remains fake. So this ‘Nakli Kejriwal’ only announces, but does nothing in reality. Therefore, the people of Punjab should beware of this ‘Nakli Kejriwal’ (Charanjit Singh Channi). Only the real Kejriwal will do the job.”Referring to the imitations being made by Chief Minister Channi, Arvind Kejriwal said, “I came to Punjab and guaranteed free electricity. Two days later, the ‘Nakli Kejriwal' rumored that he (the Channi government) had provided 400 units of electricity in Punjab for free, but the reality is that not a single person in Punjab could say that his electricity bill was zero. Even today ordinary household bills are coming in at Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000, but the ‘Nakli Kejriwal’ is making fun of the people by lying.”
Referring to Mohalla clinics, Arvind Kejriwal said, “In the second guarantee on health, I promised to set up 16,000 Mohalla Clinics in Punjab. ‘Nakli Kejriwal’ said that he (Channi) would also set up Mohalla clinics. Not a single Mohalla clinic has been set up in the last two months; while building a Mohalla Clinic takes only 10 days and Rs 20 lakhs. Would have made one for show-off; he could not make it because he is a Nakli Kejriwal.”Referring to another imitation of Chief Minister Channi, Arvind Kejriwal said that he (Kejriwal) had a conversation program with the auto rickshaw drivers/owners of Ludhiana this evening. The ‘Nakli Kejriwal’ came to know about this as the meeting was scheduled 10 days ago. The ‘Nakli Kejriwal’ reached the auto-rickshaw owners' office this (Monday) morning. Still, I think fear is good. He may do something out of fear of the real Kejriwal; but he cannot do, because he is ‘Nakli’.Arvind Kejriwal further said that Capt Amarinder Singh had also imitated the Delhi government and declared free bus service for women; but it was incomplete because Captain had provided free travel to women only in government buses. Kejriwal says where will the money come from for AAP's announcements like Rs 1,000 per month for women, free electricity and health services? These questions will be asked by all opponents. According to Arvind Kejriwal, today there is the sand mafia on one side of Channi and transport mafia on the other; then how can the treasury be filled.With the formation of the AAP government, all mafia, corruption and loopholes will be completely closed. Then Punjab will have no shortage of money, he said. Arvind Kejriwal appealed to the people of Punjab that they have so far suffered the consequences by repeatedly giving opportunities to all the conventional parties; so now the Aam Aadmi Party must also be given a chance.
