On the sidelines of his sangat darshan programme in Lambi constituency on Friday, Badal said the development will have no impact on the state’s polity.

“This front is the brainchild of fugitive leaders who want to satiate lust for power,” Badal said.

Condemning the attack on media by AAP workers at Bassi Pathana on Thursday, CM said this was only the beginning and much more was in store.

“The AAP leadership is totally ignorant about the democratic norms and least bothered about respecting the basic ethos,” he said.

On AAP leader Bhagwant Mann’s equating the beneficiaries of Atta-Dal scheme with beggars, he said such statements reflected the parochial mindset of the Aam Aadmi Party leadership.
