New Delhi, Oct 3 (PTI) The BJP on Saturday attacked AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal, alleging that his approach towards the concerns of teachers in Punjab changed after his party came to power in the state.

In a post on X, BJP national media convener Ashish Usha Agarwal said, “From Sangrur to Chandigarh, teachers are protesting over their demands and non-academic duties.”

“Same protests. Same demands. Same grievances. The only difference? AAP is in power,” he said.

The BJP leader posted two undated video clips on X showing teachers protesting in Chandigarh and said that when the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was in the opposition, “dialogue” and the “rights of protestors” were part of Kejriwal’s “political language”.

“Now that AAP is in power in Punjab, where is that same concern for protesting teachers? Does ‘dialogue’ change when the government changes?” Agarwal asked Kejriwal, accusing him of “shameless selectivity” on the issue.

“Democracy means listening to those who question you even when you’re in power,” Agarwal added. PTI PK RUK
