Punjab Polls 2022: Why did Gajendra Singh Shekhawat of BJP call Kejriwal a Coward?
By- Rishabh Jain
On Friday i.e. today, during AAP's campaign in Punjab, Kejriwal said" As all the corrupt parties are calling me terrorist, I am the first terrorist in the world who builds schools for students, builds hospitals for people, fix electricity problem". As campaigns are coming to end on 20 Feb, Kejriwal promised water supply to every village if their party came into power in Punjab.
Arvind Kejriwal was in Jalalabad for campaigning where he slammed Congress Government, “There’s no water supply in 150 villages of Punjab, don’t know what Congress has done in the last five years, they couldn’t even supply water in the last 70 yrs but we’ll ensure water supply to every village once our government is formed,” he said.

On the Contrary, in Jalandhar, Union Minister and BJP in-charge for Punjab affairs Gajendra Singh Shekhawat of BJP tore into the lies of the Aam Aadmi Party's claims of putting end to drug mafia in Punjab. He said Kejriwal is roaming around in Punjab for several months, stating that he will put an end to the drug mafia and put them behind the bars by changing the system in Punjab. But, the same leader submitted an unwanted apology to Bikram Singh Majithia leader of Shiromani Akali Dal on the same issue.
Taking this issue to the past referring to AAP leader's apology letter to Majithia, Shekhawat added when Kejriwal used to accuse Majithia of being hand in glove with the drug mafia. After which Majithia filed a defamation suit against Kejriwal. In reply to that within a year, on March 15, 2018, Kejriwal sends an unconditional apology to him, saying that the allegations he had made against Majithia were false.
