Adampur bypoll: Aam Aadmi Party trying to get a foothold in Haryana

Share On

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, took a dig at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kuldeep Bishnoi while accompanying Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal during the latter's Haryana visit ahead of the Adampur bypolls on Thursday.

Eyeing the bypoll in Adampur, Panchayat and Zila Parishad elections, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is trying to get a foothold in Haryana.

Kuldeep Bishnoi recently resigned from Congress and joined the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). Adampur's seat fell vacant after Kuldeep Bishnoi resigned from his traditional seat.

Taking a dig at Bishnoi, Bhagwant Mann said, "Seeing the love of Adampur, it can be guessed that Adampur can do something new. After getting votes, the leaders say that we are the representatives of so many lakh people, but my question is does those leaders ask when they change the party? Did Kuldeep Bishnoi ask the people before joining BJP?"

Adampur seat is considered a stronghold of Bishnoi and has been with them for decades. Kuldeep Bishnoi is the son of the former Chief Minister of Haryana, Chaudhary Bhajan Lal.
