Chandigarh, May 8
Joginder Dayal, CPI leader, today said he disagreed with the chief minister that the AAP bubble would burst soon. He said AAP was not a bubble but a tsunami that would wipe out traditional parties such as the SAD.
Dayal, a member of the CPI's national executive, said it appeared that Parkash Singh Badal, despite being in politics for 60 years, was not aware of the ground realities in the state.
"The way AAP, that did not have an organisation in the state, campaigned in the elections surprised leaders of well-established parties," he said.
Dayal urged the Left parties to look at the AAP phenomenon favourably. He
is the first national leader of the mainstream Left parties to make a statement in support of AAP.
He has urged the Left leaders to review their stand on the fledgling party. “The Left should be flexible in its approach towards AAP which has caught the attention of the youth and marginalised sections,” Dayal said.
Sumail Singh Sidhu, AAP convener, Punjab, said his party was here to stay and was determined to cleanse the corrupt political system in Punjab. He claimed that AAP would emerge as a force to reckon with.
"We thank the people who stood by us in the Lok Sabha elections," he added.
