Congress CM face Channi insults ‘Bhaiyas, Biharis’: Says “don’t let UP, Bihar ke bhaiya enter Punjab”

CHANDIGARH: Four days ahead of the polls, CM Charanjit Singh Channi insulted ‘Biharis and Bhaiyas’ saying ‘don’t let UP, Bihar ke bhaiya enter Punjab’.

While he made the remark, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi could be seen standing by him smiling and applauding.

The BJP hit back, saying the chief minister has insulted people from UP and Bihar. The BJP said Priyanka Gandhi has insulted the people of UP where the Congress is fighting the polls.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal also slammed Channi’s reported remark. He said, “It is very shameful. We strongly condemn comments aimed at any individual or any particular community. Priyanka Gandhi also belongs to UP, so she is also a bhaiya.”

Charanjit Singh Channi is the Congress’s official chief ministerial candidate in the Punjab election.
