The ruling SAD on Saturday lambasted former BJP MP Navjot Singh Sidhu for claiming that he had given up Rajya Sabha seat for sake of Punjab and said he should tell Punjabis on how many days he spent in the State during the 15 years.
In a statement here, Union Cabinet Minister and Senior SAD leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal said that Punjab is not a laughter show stage where he can make tall and false claims. She said people of the state are aware that Sidhu seldom comes to Punjab and always remains busy in his shows in Mumbai. She said that when he to had no time to visit Punjab, on which basis he is making these totally false and baseless claims of giving up anything for state of Punjab.
Harsimrat said that leave away the matter of visiting Punjab, Sidhu should tell the people what he has done for the state, particularly Amritsar as Member of Parliament representing the city. She said that truth is that he was good for nothing and instead was a thankless leader who even had no time to organise thanks giving meetings in Amritsar for electing him to Parliament.
The Union Minister said that he cannot take Punjabis for granted adding that all his bogus claims have already been exposed and he along with his newly found ‘mother party’ Congress will get a humiliating defeat at the hands of Punjabis in the assembly polls.
