Chandigarh, July 2
BJP leader Captain Amarinder Singh has responded to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann who in a tweet sought recovery of funds (from him) spent on Uttar Pradesh gangster Mukhtar Ansari while the latter was lodged in a Punjab jail.

Mann didn’t concur and laid out yet another tweet alleging Singh worked with Mughals and Britishers besides previous dispensations which ruled Punjab. It was such so-called wisdoms which destroyed Punjab, Mann said. Mann also said he was protecting Punjab’s money.

Bhagwant Mann said that the state government will not bear the expenses of Rs 55 lakh incurred on account of keeping Uttar Pradesh gangster Mukhtar Ansari in Punjab jail and for arguing his case in the Supreme Court.
