Chandigarh, Jan 4 (UNI) The Aam Aadmi Party on Friday said the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Punjab proved to be a virtual damp squib, as it brought no cheer to the people of the state, especially the distressed farming community and the youth.
In a statement here, AAP leader Bhagwant Mann accused Mr Modi of playing politics over the 1984 riots and the ground-breaking Kartarpur corridor ceremony, only to distract peoples' attention from the core issues the state was confronted with.
As expected, Modi's Punjab visit turned out to be a mere 'jhumla,' as it failed to bring any cheer on the faces of the distressed farmers in terms of announcing loan waivers, leaving them with no choice, but to commit suicide, Mr Mann remarked.
