Addressing a press convention in Panchkula, Saini mentioned: “The people of Punjab understand that the AAP is playing dirty politics. When will they engage in development politics? After Delhi, the AAP has started to realise that the people of Punjab are going to oust them. Mann Sahib should not engage in partisan politics.”
Citing the instance of Bhai Kanhaiya, Saini mentioned, “Punjab is the land of saints, and its people used to offer water to everyone. We should take inspiration from them. This is about drinking water. Punjab is our elder brother; why create differences? If Punjab is thirsty, we will give water from our share. The AAP had accused Haryana of mixing poison in the Yamuna during the Delhi election campaign. This is low-level politics.”
After the BBMB resolution on Wednesday, Mann had accused the BJP of exerting stress on the Punjab authorities by way of the board to satisfy Haryana’s calls for when the neighbouring state had already exhausted its water share by March.
Saini mentioned Mann ought to work within the curiosity of farmers as a substitute of inciting them to take the trail of protest.
