Welcoming Badals to hold a rally in his political bastion Patiala, Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday said that he will chase them out right up to the last rally till they are thrown out of Punjab.
Reacting to the Badals’ decision to hold a rally in Patiala in response to his decision of holding a rally in Bathinda, Capt Amarinder said: “They (the Badals) are trying to convey the impression as if Patiala belonged to me and Bathinda belonged to them, which is not the case.” “For me, whole of Punjab is my homeland and, unlike Badals, I don’t distinguish between and discriminate against any area,” he said, while pointing out how Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal had challenged him to hold a rally in Bathinda as if he (Sukhbir) had inherited the place as a matter of birth right.\
The State Congress chief reiterated that wherever the Badals will go and hold the rally, the Congress will chase them everywhere. “let me assure you, it will be a fight to the finish till you are not completely chased out of Punjab,” he said.
