SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal has called on AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal to engage in an open debate over alleged paper leaks and recruitment irregularities in Punjab.
Sikh political party Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal issued a public challenge to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal today, demanding an open debate over alleged paper leaks and recruitment irregularities in Punjab.
Badal cited reports that confidential documents were allegedly leaked by AAP officials and that the party has been accused of irregularities in its recruitment processes for state positions.
He questioned the credibility of AAP leadership and called on Kejriwal to address the accusations in a transparent forum, urging the public to scrutinise the evidence.
The challenge comes amid growing scrutiny of AAP’s governance in Punjab, where the party has been in power since 2022 and faces criticism over administrative transparency.
