Chandigarh: The Opposition party on Monday fired a fresh salvo at Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, alleging that he was deplaned from a flight at the Frankfurt airport as he was “drunk”. The Aam Admi Party (AAP), however, denied the charge as baseless.
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal alleged that Mann was deplaned from Delhi-bound flight as he was in an inebriated condition.
“Disturbing media reports quoting co-passengers say Pb CM @BhagwantMann was deplaned from Lufthansa flight as he was too drunk to walk. And it led to a 4-hour flight delay. He missed AAP’s national convention. These reports have embarrassed & shamed Punjabis all over the globe,” he tweeted.
Terming the allegations baseless and bogus, AAP chief spokesperson Malvinder Singh Kang accused the rival parties of indulging in a negative propaganda to defame the chief minister.
“The allegations are baseless, bogus and false,” Kang said and alleged that the opposition parties were spreading canards against the chief minister as they cannot digest the fact that he was working hard to get investments into the state.
Mann returned to Delhi from his eight-day trip from Germany on Monday where he had gone to attract investments.
