The AAP leaders said that Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh should not take the conduct of his cabinet colleague lying down and pull up the power drunk minister.
The AAP leaders accused the Chief Minister of having ignored the serious allegations against him (The minister) of misbehaving with a large number of qualified teachers fighting for their legitimate rights and hurling off-putting language against them, including female teachers, publicly, giving him a free hand to go his way in the present case as well.
The AAP leaders warned Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh that if he (Chief Minister) failed to act against the minister to mend his ways, people of the state, especially those from Sangrur, would teach him a lesson.
