Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has launched a political attack on BJP leader Sunil Jakhar following his recent statement. Jakhar had spoken about Arvind Kejriwal and Manish सिसोदिया entering an electoral contest within the state.

The Chief Minister asked why these leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party's central leadership would contest elections from here. Taking a dig, he said that a lamp flickers more before it goes out.

Targeting Jakhar's past political journey, Bhagwant Mann said that he earlier talked about quitting politics and later left Congress to join the BJP. He also advised Jakhar to get treatment for his mental state.

Actually, while talking to journalists the other day, the BJP leader had challenged both the big leaders of 'AAP' to contest elections inside Punjab.

Along with this, the Chief Minister also took a jibe at the prospective alliance between the Shiromani Akali Dal and the BJP. He said that any such alliance would not make a difference to their side because multiplying zero by zero always results in zero.
