Warring claimed that the governor made no secret of his feelings for the chief minister and his government. “I am sure the message must not have been lost on those for whom it was meant”, Warring remarked, while pointing out how the governor took jibes at the Aam Aadmi Party government in the state.

The Punjab Congress chief said the questions raised by the governor still remain unanswered. “You do not feel like answering to the governor, but do answer to the people of Punjab as these questions have come from their representatives to the governor,” he added in a statement. He warned that the confrontationist approach, that is the characteristic way of the working of the AAP everywhere, will not work in Punjab.
