Interacting with the media persons on the sidelines of Sangat Darshan program in Lambi assembly segment here today, the Chief Minister said that Captain’s illusion to form government in the state would be over in 2017 and the alliance would give a crushing defeat to him and his party in the ensuing state assembly polls. Mr. Badal said that despite of former Chief Minister’s tall claims the people have rejected his politics for two consecutive terms adding that this time also wise people of state would show a door to his ‘royal style’ of politics. “Captain sahib must stop day dreaming because people of state will send him to political oblivion by ensuring his defeat in 2017” he added.
Quipping on sops being announced by Captain Amarinder Singh to woo the voters, the Chief Minister said that the state Congress President knows well that he won’t come to power so he was desperately ‘promising the moon’ to everybody.
