"The BJP finishes the party with which they ally...The people of Punjab support me wholeheartedly. They have a problem with the development of Punjab," he added.

Slams BJP

Slamming the BJP he said, “BJP has betrayed Punjab. They have lured some of our MPs into their side. The same ‘washing machine’ will be used here that works for Sharad Pawar’s party, that works for Uddhav Thackeray’s party, and that works for Congress as well.”

Kejriwal Reacts

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal has also reacted on X to the major jolt. "BJP ne phir se Punjabiyon ke sath kiya dhakka," which roughly translates to, “The BJP has once again wronged Punjabis.”

Sanjay Singh Reacts

"...The BJP has done the work of obstructing the good works done by Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government...7 AAP Rajya Sabha MPs are joining the BJP, the people of Punjab should remember these 7 names. The people of Punjab will never forget them," he said.
