Punjab Congress today accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of launching a "monologue" through his 'Talk to AK', saying he cannot listen to others or take questions from them.
"Kejriwal, given his self righteous arrogance, cannot listen to others or take questions from them," alleged Punjab Congress Vice President and Kapurthala MLA Rana Gurjeet Singh.
"At best, it was a monologue and at worst, his characteristic character assassination of others. It ended up more as a personal monologue than a public dialogue," he said.
"In comparison, Amarinder Singh allows public to speak and ask questions and answer those instead of making self promotional monologues," Rana said.
He claimed that having seen the massive response Amarinder was getting in his question-answer sessions, whether with party workers or in 'Coffee with Captain' and 'Halqe vich Captain' programmes, the AAP national convener apparently "tried to copy" it but "failed miserably".
The state Congress Vice President alleged, "The Delhi Chief Minister had spent crores of rupees on advertisement ahead of his 'Talk to AK' programme, that virtually ended up in 'Listen to Kejriwal'."
Moreover, the advertisements were circulated more in Punjab newspapers than in Delhi, where he is the Chief Minister and should be answerable to the public about what he has done in the last one-and-a half years, Rana said.
