The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday mocked the Aam Aadmi Party's campaign to form their government in Goa and Punjab, saying that the Arvind Kejriwal-led government was failing spectacularly in the national capital, forcing them to run helter-skelter to other states.
"By now the entire nation is familiar with how AAP functions and how they play politics by trying to create a divide in the society. This will not last for long and the upcoming polls will show it. Since they (AAP) have failed in Delhi, they are now running to Punjab and Goa," BJP leader Shyam Jaju told ANI here.
Meanwhile, Kejriwal is all set to roll out his party's "youth manifesto" today at the start of his three-day Punjab tour.
The manifesto is expected to touch upon drug menace, unemployment, and education.
Earlier, the fresh charges against (AAP) MLA Naresh Yadav for allegedly desecrating the Quran by the Sangrur Police in Punjab, came as a major blow to the party, which is gearing for the 2017 polls in the state.
Yadav was yesterday named in an FIR related to a recent case of alleged 'desecration' of the Quran.
The Sangrur Police booked Yadav after the alleged mastermind in the case, Vijay Kumar, disclosed that he had desecrated the Quran at the behest of the Mehrauli MLA and was offered Rs. one crore for the same.
