Historic blunder by AAP leadership, no point finding fault with EVMs: Bhagwant Mann

New Delhi: Slamming the AAP leadership, party MP Bhagwant Mann said it is “behaving like a mohalla cricket team” and said the party AAP committed a “historic blunder” in Punjab. In an interview to newspaper Tribune ahead of MCD poll results, he broke silence over drubbing in Punjab Assembly election results. He said the decisions taken before the polls had hurt him “to the core”. “There is no use finding fault with the EVMs now when the party leadership committed a historic blunder with regard to the overall strategy in the elections. First, it should look within to find out reasons that stopped AAP’s march to power,” said Mann, who addressed about 400 election rallies.

Mann further told the paper that the party leadership snubbed him as he opposed the nomination of certain candidates. When asked why he was speaking now, Mann said that he did not want to during Punjab polls as he did not want to create a scene or else he would have been blamed for the loss. The comedian-turned-politician who did not campaign during the MCD polls said, “Bringing (Rajouri Garden MLA) Jarnail Singh to Punjab was also a questionable decision because it added to the confusion regarding the party’s CM face. “Overconfidence of certain leaders of the high command spoiled the party’s electoral game in Punjab.”
