Aam Aadmi Party national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said he would leave Punjab only after sending the Badals to jail.
During the launch of the Farmers’ Manifesto of the party in Baghapurana in Moga district, Kejriwal launched a scathing attack on the Badal family and Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh, alleging that they had "looted" the state for their "vested interests", news agency PTI reported.
He accused the Badals and Capt Amarinder Singh of “grabbing” the land of once prosperous farmers of Punjab and forcing them to commit suicide.
“We will not let them get away with this. I have pitched my tent in Punjab now and I will leave only after sending the Badals to jail,” said Mr. Kejriwal.
"Three months back, I had announced that Majithia was in the drugs trade. He got a false case registered against me, thinking that he will be able to suppress me. But, I am not afraid of him," said Kejriwal.
"There are only four months left for the polls. I warn Majithia that either he gets me arrested or after the polls, I will get him arrested and send him to jail," he said.
Mr. Kejriwal said the Congress, Akali Dal, and BJP had joined forces against AAP.
He said after AAP forms the government in Punjab, the buses of the Badals will be impounded and handed over to the unemployed youth. He also said the assets of chit fund companies, operating in Punjab will be confiscated to pay back the farmers.
The party will also withdraw the false cases lodged against the people at the behest of the Badals, he said.
"It is sad that those who sell drugs are not booked but those who purchase them are arrested. We will arrest the sellers," he added.
