Punjab Aam Aadmi Party leader and former comedian and Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann wants to contest the forthcoming Punjab assembly elections, and that too opposite deputy chief minister and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal.


Recently, in an interaction with ABP Sanjha, a Punjabi news channel Mann said, “Je meri party mainu ijaazat dawe, jithon Sukhbir badal khada houga, main ladnai… mera dil karde!.” Mann also announced that the first list of AAP candidates for the February 2017 polls would be out by the end of next month.
Further Mann quoted saying that there was nothing on the lines of BJP leader and former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu joining the AAP. He reportedly said, neither the party nor Sidhu had approached the other. This comes close on the heels of former Amritsar MP Sidhu’s wife and BJP MLA, Navjot Kaur Sidhu, telling HT that they would take part in the election but not from the BJP if it continued its SAD alliance.
