Khanna January 2

Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann today said that he would contest from two seats if Deputy CM Sukhbir Badal too decided to contest two seats. Addressing a rally here in favour of party candidate Anii Dutt Phalli, Mann claimed that fearing that he might lose from Jalalabad, Sukhbir was planning to contest from one more place.

He flayed Punjab Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh for challenging AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal to contest from Patiala. He said Amarinder himself should contest from Jalalabad against Sukhbir.

In his address, Mann said any of the ongoing welfare scheme would not be discontinued, rather its implementation would be improved, especially the quality of foodgrain under the Atta-Dal scheme.

He said after coming to power, AAP would scrap toll tax barriers after a review. He alleged that the people of Punjab were fed up with the SAD-BJP government.
