Chandigarh: As the Congress swept the Punjab polls, Arvind Kejriwal became the target of jibes with Capt. Amarinder Singh calling him a “summer storm that has come and gone” while Navjot Singh Sidhu termed it as a defeat of the AAP leaders’ trolls.
At a crowded press conference here, Capt. Singh lauded the wisdom of Punjab voters for not choosing AAP saying that it had “no leadership”. “Arvind Kejriwal is like a summer storm which came and has gone,” Capt. Singh said.
“The AAP bubble has burst with their outright rejection by the Punjab voters," he said, adding that the alleged AAP extremist links, had also worked against it.
Cricketer turned politician Navjot Singh Sidhu too took on the AAP convenor saying the paid trolls used the social media to make wrong projections during elections have been defeated. “Kejriwal's intentions were wrong... he wanted everything for himself,” he claimed.
The Punjab polls witnessed a combative campaign, especially the newcomer AAP which was taking on traditional rivals Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal.
