Understand ‘hidden powers’ behind Modi and Kejriwal: Rahul to voters in Punjab

TIL Desk/National/Chandigarh/ Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday asked voters in Punjab not to look at the face of leaders but their actions to understand the “hidden powers” that are at work behind them, as the former Congress president attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal.

Taking on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), he claimed those seeking one chance to form the government will “destroy Punjab” and the state “will burn”. Gandhi also targeted former chief minister Amarinder Singh who the Congress leader said was removed by the party last year for hobnobbing with the BJP.

Addressing a poll rally at Rajpura, about 30 km from here, for the February 20 Punjab assembly polls, Gandhi again cautioned people against going for any “experiment” in Punjab polls, saying only his party was capable of maintaining peace in the border state.

“The most important thing for Punjab is its peace. This is not a laboratory, not a chemistry lab or any such place where experiments can be done.  Punjab is a border and sensitive state and only the Congress party understands Punjab and can maintain peace in the state,” he said.
