SAD chief-cum-Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal today called AAP chief-cum-Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal a dictator. He also alleged that AAP tickets were given to candidates after getting Rs 1 crore from each of them.

“Now, AAP leaders will fight each other and bring to fore the factionalism within their party. They will also reveal that they had paid huge money to get the party ticket. The advance declaration of candidates by AAP will not make even a slight difference to the SAD-BJP alliance,” Sukhbir said.

He was here to extend financial benefits to building and construction workers under various schemes of the Punjab Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board and the Labour Department.

Asked when the SAD would declare its first list of candidates for the forthcoming Assembly elections, he said, “We are not in a hurry to declare candidates. People already know our candidates. But I can assure you that the advance announcement of candidates will spell doom for AAP.”

AAP leaders were already alleging bias in ticket distribution, he said. “Their statements have made it clear that only those people matter in AAP who pander to whims and fancies of Kejriwal,” he said.
