He made these remarks while speaking to journalists following a campaign meeting with party workers in his constituency. Ashu recalled that during India's 2019 surgical strikes against Pakistani terrorist camps, the AAP leader had demanded verification of the operations, despite Pakistan's acknowledgement of the Indian offensive. He noted a connection between Mann's recent statements, citing criticism of the sindoor tradition and questioning the effectiveness of Operation Sindoor. "Why would anyone do that if he did not have some different and deeper designs?" he asked, observing that AAP leaders consistently appealed to "anti-national elements" during elections. "But let me tell them, they are badly mistaken as people of Punjab in general and Ludhiana West in particular will not tolerate anything that smacks of being anti-national," he warned, adding that AAP was trying to play with fire. According to Ashu, AAP's lack of substantial achievements had led them to make provocative and insensitive statements to deflect attention from unfulfilled promises and genuine concerns. He expressed confidence in his electoral prospects, suggesting that his opponents were significantly lagging in the race, and predicted their complete disappearance from public view after June 19.
