Fight Lok Sabha polls in Punjab on ‘false’ promises made to people: Harsimrat Kaur Badal to Priyanka Gandhi

Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal Thursday dared Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to advise Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh to fight Lok Sabha polls on issues like farm debt waiver, employment to youth and other false promises he made to people of the state. Badal, the Akali candidate from the Bathinda parliamentary seat, threw an open challenge at Priyanka Gandhi a day after the Congress leader had challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to fight the last two phases of the Lok Sabha election on the issue of the false promises he made to people.

There should be no double standards, She tweeted. Also read: On Wednesday, Priyanka Gandhi had held a roadshow in Delhi and said people of the city were tired of Modis purposeless talk.
