 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday sounded the poll bugle in Punjab and said that his party would register a thumping win in the state assembly elections slated for next year.
Addressing a rally Kejriwal said, 'According to various surveys conducted nationwide, AAP will sweep at least 100 seats of 117 in Punjab.' 

Kejriwal, who started a three-day political tour of Punjab with prayers at two famous shrines, Amritsar's Golden Temple and Durgiana Mandir in the holy city, the Delhi Chief Minister said that if AAP comes to power, the people behind desecration of Quran and Guru Granth Sahib will be booked to justice.

He also promised to end the menace of drugs business and mafias in Punjab within a month, saying, 'The Aam Aadmi Party if comes to power, it can curb and put an end to drugs business and mafias in Punjab within a month.'

'First Capt Amarinder looted Punjab followed by Badals, if AAP comes to power we will put behind bars those involved in corruption,' he added. Kejriwal, who is on his second long tour to Punjab this year, had earlier made a five-day trip to various parts of the state in February.  

BJP slams AAP MLA named over Quran 'desecration' row

In the wake of one of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs named in an FIR related to a recent case of alleged 'desecration' of the Quran, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday took pot shots at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and said that he is the alleged mastermind behind such acts. Asserting that the AAP is resorting to new lows everyday to win in Punjab, BJP leader Satish Upadhyay said, 'Till now AAP MLAs were getting booked for corruption, violence and their wrong behaviour but this new case is a very serious case, this case concerns the tranquillity in the nation. In the wake of Assembly elections in Punjab this party is stooping so low.'

'What is to seen here is that who is the mastermind behind this mentality, that who directed Naresh Yadav to do this' The figures here point towards the AAP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal, he might have directed Naresh Yadav to do such a thing,' he added.

Yadav earlier today downplayed the allegations levelled against him and said that the 'restless' SAD-BJP alliance in Punjab was hatching conspiracies. Yadav told ANI that the alliance has become restless as the people of Punjab have decided to give absolute majority to the AAP in the upcoming assembly elections. The fresh charges against the AAP MLA came as a major blow to the party, which is gearing for the 2017 polls in the state.

The Sangrur Police booked Yadav after the alleged mastermind in the case, Vijay Kumar, disclosed that he had desecrated the Quran at the behest of the Mehrauli MLA and was offered Rs. one crore for the same.
