Punjab Election 2022: Kejriwal says Congress MLAs making beeline, but don't want garbage

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is on mission Punjab, on Tuesday took a swipe at the ruling Congress saying a number of its leaders were making a beeline to join the Aam Aadmi Party.

Taking potshots at the Congress, Kejriwal claimed that at least 25 Congress MLAs and a few MPS were ready to join his party and would switch sides the day he gives them green signal. The Delhi CM further rubbed it in by saying that he doesn't want to take Congress' garbage.

The Aam Aadmi Party is making a bid to power in the upcoming Punjab elections. The party has positioned itself as the main challenger to a faction-ridden Congress.

The BJP-Akali split has also helped AAP raise its stake in the battle for Punjab.

The AAP national convener on Monday had dinner at the residence of an auto driver, a group he is trying to woo ahead of the Punjab Assembly polls.

The Delhi chief minister said every autorickshaw driver in the national capital considers Kejriwal his brother because of all the work his government has done and added that he has now come to be the brother of drivers in Punjab.

Earlier, addressing an 'Auto Samwad' programme, he promised to solve the problems of auto and taxi drivers if they help the AAP come into power in Punjab in the upcoming polls.
