Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Monday claimed that the SAD-BJP alliance would win the 2017 state assembly election.
Speaking on the sidelines of Sangat Darshan programme in Lambi assembly segment here, the Chief Minister said Punjab Congress president Captain Amarinder Singh should be prepared for the "third consecutive defeat" as he (Badal) claimed that the alliance would give a "crushing defeat" to him (Amarinder) and his party in the 2017 state assembly polls. Badal said this time also "wise" people of the state would show "door to him" (Amarinder) in their '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 said. The Chief Minister alleged that the state Congress President knows well that he won't come to power so he was "desperately promising the moon" to everybody.
