Earlier, Bhagwant Mann hits out at Captain Amarinder Singh for criticizing him and calling him a comedian, by saying that this comedian has always raised the issues of Punjab’s water, agriculture, farmers, and mafia in the Parliament. Talking to the media Bhagwant Mann said “When Captain Amarinder was an MP, he did not even go to Parliament. His attendance was the worst, let alone his chances of raising any issue pertaining to Punjab and its people. Even as the chief minister, he deceived the people of Punjab. Instead of fulfilling promises, he was spending time in his farmhouse. Today he is getting punished for his betrayal of the people of Punjab,”

This year the main competition will be between two ruling parties Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
