Haryana CM Speaks Punjabi, AAP Denies VIP Culture
Haryana's Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini, surprised many by speaking fluent Punjabi during a meeting with Punjab's Chief Minister, Bhagwant Mann, about a long-standing water dispute.
This was seen as a way to connect with the people of Punjab.
Meanwhile, Bhagwant Mann tried to show he's not a VIP by making fun of security arrangements and talking directly to players at a sports event.
The Congress party in Punjab is facing trouble because some of its leaders have made controversial statements.
Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, has been traveling by road and regular flights to avoid looking like a VIP.
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini spoke Punjabi in a meeting with Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann about the SYL canal issue.
Bhagwant Mann publicly distanced himself from VIP culture at a sports event in Dhudike.
Congress leader Rajinder Kaur Bhattal made controversial remarks praising a rival leader and suggesting bomb blasts, causing internal party turmoil.
