Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring has compared the Aam Aadmi Party leadership to the British Empire over Raghav Chadha’s appointment to the state advisory panel.

Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring has compared the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leadership to the British Empire over Raghav Chadha’s appointment as the chairman of the advisory committee to the state government.

Criticising the AAP’s move, he said, “It reminds me of the days when the British Emperor would appoint a Viceroy in India to watch and safeguard his own interests.”

He said, “Chadha is the new Viceroy appointed by the Emperor Arvind Kejriwal with Bhagwant Mann acting as an obedient and subservient vassal.”

“What is Chadha’s experience to be the super-CM over Bhagwant Mann?” he asked in a strongly worded statement, adding, “I feel sad that Punjab, the land of all-time great emperor Maharaja Ranjit Singh, will now be ruled over by a rank outsider with no experience in governance and that too when we already have a democratically elected government here.”

He said the way AAP was abusing Punjab's resources to promote itself in states such as Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat was similar to the way the British were exploiting Indian resources in Britain.
