With Punjab pocketed in spectacular style, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal mocked the state Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu who was trounced by a normal volunteer of AAP—Jeevan Jyot Kaur—by 6750 votes in Amritsar East. He said not to underestimate the common man.
He also pointed out the humble origins of the candidate who beat Punjab’s chief minister Charanjit Singh Chani in Bhadaur.
Addressing the victory speech, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal remarked, “The Punjab results indicate a big revolution. Many big seats have been shaken today. Sukhbir Singh Badal lost, Captain Sahab lost, Channi Sahab lost, Parkash Singh Badal Sahab lost, Navjot Singh Sidhu lost and Bikram Singh Majithia lost.”
He added, “Do you know who defeated Charanjit Singh Channi from Bhadaur? Labh Singh Ugoke. Who is this Labh Singh Ugoke? He works in a mobile repair shop. His mother works as a safai karamchari in a school. His father works as a labourer in the fields. Such a person defeated Charanjit Singh Channi in the election.
“Do you know who defeated Navjot Singh Sidhu? She is our ordinary volunteer. She defeated Majithia as well as Navjot Singh Sidhu. There is a lot of power in the common man. Don’t challenge the common man. The day he stands up, big revolutions will take place and big seats will be shaken.”
