Targeting Kejriwal directly, Warring said the AAP leadership was mistaken if it believed it could once again win over voters with promises and slogans. “You can fool some people some time, some people all the time, all people some time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time,” he remarked.
A major focus of Warring’s criticism was the AAP government’s unfulfilled promise of providing women in Punjab with a monthly financial assistance of Rs 1,000. He accused the party of betraying women voters who had supported AAP based on that commitment.
Referring to Kejriwal’s recent suggestion that the Assembly elections could be advanced and held in November, Warring argued that eligible women should have received much larger benefits by now under the promised scheme.
“As per their own promise, women should have received Rs 60,000 by now. If elections are held in November, they may end up getting only Rs 3,000. This is the greatest betrayal and the AAP will pay for it,” he said.
Warring also questioned Kejriwal’s remarks regarding the possible timing of the elections, suggesting that such announcements should come from the Election Commission of India rather than political leaders.
“Shouldn’t this information come from the Election Commission of India?” he asked, while taking a swipe at the AAP chief. He further questioned whether Kejriwal had some special channel of communication with the poll body, drawing a political parallel between AAP and the BJP.
With political temperatures beginning to rise ahead of the next assembly elections, Warring’s remarks underscore the Congress party’s attempt to position itself as the principal challenger to the AAP government, while highlighting issues related to governance, accountability and unfulfilled promises.
