Punjab: A day after Raghav Chadha, along with other Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MPs, quit the party and announced their merger with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann,took a veiled dig at the rebel MPs.
Taking to X, he said in Punjabi, "Ginger, garlic, cumin, fenugreek powder, red chili, black pepper, and coriander, these 7 things together make the vegetable taste great, but on their own, they can't become a 'vegetable'," he said.
Earlier on Friday, Mann slammed Raghav Chadha and six other MPs soon after they quit the party and announced a merger with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), calling them traitors.
"...The seven MPs who are joining the BJP don't represent Punjab, they are traitors...They won't get anything in the BJP also," CM Mann said, speaking to reporters.
"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.
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.”
Who are the seven MPs?
Harbhajan Singh, Swati Maliwal, Raghav Chadha, Ashok Mittal, Sandeep Pathak, Vikram Sahney, and Rajinder Gupta.
