Pbis elected you to bring meaningful change, not to settle political scores of your party head," the SAD chief tweeted.The SAD chief also said that AAP formed its government in Punjab on the basis of fake promises."AAP has started hooliganism in the state and misusing the Punjab police. Punjab DGP should take responsibility for this matter. AAP has formed the government in Punjab on fake promises. They will not fulfill any promise," Badal told reporters here today.Earlier in the day, Bagga was arrested from his residence in Delhi's Janakpuri over a case filed in Punjab where the national secretary of the BJP's youth wing was accused by AAP of threatening Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.Bagga was taken to the Janakpuri Police Station where BJP workers gathered to protest against his arrest.Delhi Police also filed a case of abduction against this arrest and said it was acting on a complaint filed by Bagga's father saying that some people barged inside their home and beat up the BJP leader.
