Chandigarh, Jun 8 (PTI) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday said his Haryana counterpart Nayab Singh Saini’s visit to Dhuri was a “flop show” and claimed that the people of Punjab would never support the BJP as they have seen its “face full of hatred.” “The Haryana CM had come to Dhuri.You know how many people were sitting (among the gathering). It was his flop show in Dhuri yesterday,” Mann told reporters on the sidelines of an event here.
Mann is an MLA from the Dhuri assembly constituency.
During his visit to Dhuri, Saini had on Sunday lashed out at Mann, claiming that his Punjab counterpart knows little beyond cracking jokes.
“Jokes can run cinema halls, but they cannot run governments,” Saini had said about Mann, a former standup comedian.
Saini had also said that the enthusiasm of the people of Dhuri indicates a strong wave of change in the state.
The BJP leader alleged that the AAP leaders portrayed themselves as revolutionaries, but in reality, they misled the public.
Dhuri is Mann’s constituency, yet he has distanced himself not only from Punjab but also from Dhuri, he had charged.
“Punjab was once far ahead of many states in terms of development, but political parties pursuing their own interests have pushed it into the category of laggards. Today, the war against drugs in Punjab is being fought only through newspaper ads, while little is being done on the ground,” Saini had said. PTI CHS DV DV DV
