Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday dubbed AAP's Rajya Sabha members, who quit the party and announced joining the BJP, as "gaddars" (traitors). Addressing a press conference here, Mann alleged that the BJP was trying to break the AAP and had "betrayed the people of Punjab."
When they did not find anything against Bhagwant Mann, they tried to break AAP, said Mann, who returned on Friday after nearly a week-long visit to the Netherlands and Finland to attract investments for his state. They are perturbed why Mann is becoming the leader of people, Mann said, hitting out at the BJP.
