Punjab Leader of the opposition Partap Singh Bajwa on Saturday slammed BJP leader Sunil Jakhar and said attempts to scuttle or derail the ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra of Rahul Gandhi would succeed.

Leader of opposition (LoP) in Punjab assembly Partap Singh Bajwa on Saturday slammed BJP leader Sunil Jakhar saying any attempts to scuttle or derail the ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra of Rahul Gandhi would not succeed.

Bajwa said Jakhar and Capt Amarinder, and the BJP have not uttered a single word after Dera Sirsa head Gurmeet Ram Rahim was given 40-day parole. (HT file photo)

“His close association with Capt Amarinder Singh was well known, and how they both clandestinely hobnobbed with the saffron party to destabilise Congress party was no secret,” Bajwa alleged.

“First double-faced and hypocritical politicians such as Jakhar and the likes of him in the BJP tried to discredit the Bharat Jodo Yatra by raising insignificant issues such as pointing a finger at the colour of Rahul Gandhi’s turban. Now the same people, after being ruffled by the success of the yatra, do not want Rahul to be projected as the Prime Minister,” the Congress leader added.
