In a statement on Saturday, SAD senior leader Bikram Singh Majithia said: “While the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab was earlier controlled from Delhi by remote control, Arvind Kejriwal had now directly assumed the mantle of the de facto assumed prime ministership. and summoned Prime Minister Bhagwant Mann and senior civil and police officials to Delhi at his beck and call.

“On October 28, Kejriwal Mann, state DGP, summoned police commissioners of Jalandhar, Amritsar and Ludhiana and AAP legislators from these three cities for a meeting. Similarly, two meetings were held in Delhi on October 29. In the first service, Kejriwal Mann, state DGP, met DC and SSP of Kapurthala, DC and SSP of Fazilka, DC and SSP of Bathinda and AAP legislators from these constituencies. In the second service, Kejriwal held a meeting with the DC and SSP of Mohali as well as the Chief Minister and the state DGP,” Majithia added.
