Kejriwal backing Bhatinda blast perpetrators : Rahul Gandhi

Sangrur, Punjab, Feb 1 (IBNS) : Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of helping disruptive forces which were behind the recent twin blasts in poll-bound Punjab.

According to reports, Gandhi made the accusation while addressing a rally in Ballian village in Sangrur district.

This was Gandhi's last day of his three-day electioneering in the state.

Gandhi said  Kejriwal, the AAP supremo  was promoting elements that were against Punjab and voters should take guard against any disruption in the atmosphere which will destroy the progressive agenda of Punjab.

“The most important thing is the atmosphere you live in. If that atmosphere gets spoiled, violence starts or anger prevails, then the work of farmers, labourers, weaker sections suffers, entire state suffers,” Gandhi said.

“And Arvind Kejriwal is backing the perpetrators of the blast. He is allowing them to contest elections. This is very dangerous for Punjab. If these elements gain strength in Punjab, then it will hijack all the development issues,” he said at the rally.

The twin blasts   killed at least six people at Maur Mandi in Bathinda  just ahead of February 4 polls  leading to a blame game involving all political parties.
