He also claimed that he declined an offer to be made national spokesperson of the Congress on Thursday saying he would prefer to serve as a volunteer for an “honest party” like AAP to being even president of a “corrupt party”.
AAP MP Bhagwant Mann said leaders like Khaira would always be welcomed by the party.
AAP leader in charge of political affairs Sanjay Singh dismissed allegations that leaders in Delhi were controlling the party’s affairs in Punjab.
“People like Khaira can never be happy and comfortable with any political party. He first joined the SAD, then the Congress and now he has joined the AAP. I will also be suing Khaira for levelling baseless charges against me, as the Supreme Court has already acquitted me.”, Said Lal Singh.
The SAD is also kind of igorning Khaira joining AAP and prediciting no impact to them. “It displays rank political opportunism of the AAP and utter frustration of Khehra. On the one hand, it fully exposes the total political irrelevance and marginalisation of the Congress.
