Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann Tuesday attacked the BJP over Operation Sindoor, accusing it of seeking votes in the name of ‘sindoor’ (vermillion) and asked if it had started a ‘one nation, one husband’ scheme.
He was talking to reporters after chairing a cabinet meeting here.
When asked about the BJP allegedly seeking votes in the name of Operation Sindoor for the Ludhiana West assembly bypoll, Mann said, “(They are) seeking votes in the name of sindoor. They have turned sindoor into a joke. Haven’t you seen that?”
“If they come to your house (with sindoor), will you apply ‘sindoor’ in the name of Modi. Is it a ‘one nation, one husband’ scheme?” he asked.
The bypoll to Ludhiana West assembly seat in Punjab will take place on June 19 and the counting will be held on June 23.
Meanwhile, the Punjab BJP slammed Mann for his ‘one nation, one husband’ remarks, saying the chief minister has “crossed all limits”.
