Ahead of Delhi CM's visit, 'Kejriwal Go Back' hoardings surface in Punjab

Hoardings of 'Kejriwal Go Back' were put up in Amritsar as Punjab Congress protested the visit of Arvind Kejriwal to the state. The Delhi Chief Minister is scheduled to visit Punjab on Monday in the wake of Assembly polls in the state next year.

Amritsar: Ahead of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's visit to Punjab, hoardings of 'Kejriwal Go Back' appeared in Amritsar. As per the report, Punjab Congress protested Kejriwal's visit to the state and termed it a 'political stunt' by the Delhi Chief Minister.

Speaking to the media, Youth Congress leader Mitthu Madan said Kejriwal is not needed in Punjab and he should focus on improving the situation in Delhi before thinking to make ground in Punjab. "He will reach at 12 pm, his visit is a political stunt. How many times has he come here in the last four years? He is coming here just to fool people. He should pay a visit to Harmandir Sahib and go back," Madan said. He further said that Kejriwal is not needed in Punjab as AAP MLAs are joining the Congress.

Kejriwal's visit comes ahead of the Assembly polls in Punjab next year. Confirming his visit to the state, Kejriwal had tweeted on Sunday, "Punjab wants change. The only hope is the AAP. See you tomorrow at Amritsar."
