Sukhbir Badal Says People Could Not Digest Development In Punjab

Darpan News Desk IANS, 18 Mar, 2017 01:00 PM
    SAD leader and former Punjab deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal, speaking on the party’s defeat, on Saturday said that his government delivered a bit too much to people, which they could not digest.
     
    “It is like, if someone eats too much, he ends up vomiting. So we actually gave people too much to eat,” said Sukhbir.
     
    He said that the people of Punjab would soon realise their value (SAD), when there would be no development for the coming five years.
     
     
    “Our value will be known when there will be drought for five years. Difference between good and bad is not known until acknowledged,” he said.
     
    The Congress won 77 of the 117 Assembly seats in Punjab. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its ally LIP won 22 seats and the SAD-BJP combine was relegated to third spot with 18 seats.
