Delhi Minister Meets Haryana CM Over PM Modi's Punjab Visit, Criticizes Opposition

Delhi Cabinet Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa met with Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini in Chandigarh to discuss Prime Minister Narendra Modi's upcoming visit to Punjab on February 2. During the meeting, Sirsa accused the Congress party of engaging in politics of violence and blasts, stating that Punjab has fallen behind under their leadership. He also criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab, alleging a collapse of law and order with incidents of public shootings and potential home invasions. Sirsa called AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal a "looter" and suggested that Punjab should receive a special package from the central government, but only after Kejriwal's influence in the state is removed. Preparations for the Prime Minister's rally in Punjab are reportedly complete.
