What are those who talk of horse horse trading doing themselves?
Wanding said that the Aam Aadmi Party people used to talk of horse trading in the Chandigarh mayor elections. Earlier they used to talk of Operation Lotus. Zero FIR was registered. Even the MLA left the party. At the same time, he said that the mayor election in Punjab is being held on the orders of AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal and CM Bhagwant Mann. At the same time, Bajwa said that AAP and BJP are two sides of the same coin. What Modi is doing in the whole country. Kejriwal is doing the same in Punjab in a small form. The opposition has to be troubled.
