New Delhi: Punjab Chief Minister Charnjit Channi on Wednesday said that that he will not allow “people from UP and Bihar to come and have a good life in the state.
He also said, ‘don’t let UP, Bihar ke bhaiya enter Punjab’, in the presence of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi.
In the video, which is now doing rounds on social media, Priyanka Gandhi can be seen laughing, and clapping while Channi made this statement.
Soon after this, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Malviya slammed Congress for allegedly insulting the people belonging to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar during the election campaign in Punjab.
मंच से पंजाब के मुख्यमंत्री यूपी, बिहार वालों को अपमानित करते हैं और प्रियंका वाड्रा बगल में खड़े हो कर हंस रही है, तालियाँ बजा रही हैं…
ऐसे करेगी कांग्रेस यूपी और देश का विकास? लोगों को आपस में लड़ा कर? pic.twitter.com/h6TtmvqgZQ

Not only BJP, but Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal also slammed Channi’s reported remark. He said, “It is very shameful. We strongly condemn comments aimed at any individual or any particular community. Priyanka Gandhi also belongs to UP, so she is also a bhaiya.”
एक तरफ़ पंजाब की सारी बेईमान पार्टियाँ आम आदमी पार्टी को हराने के लिए इकट्ठी हो गयीं हैं
दूसरी तरफ़ सारे लोग इकट्ठे होके आम आदमी पार्टी को जिताने में लग गए हैं।

First Rahul Gandhi said India isn’t a nation. Now Priyanka Vadra cheers to CM Charanjit Channi’s call to boycott people from UP and Bihar.
The work to divide India has been an ongoing project for Congress’ first family. That is why India is rejecting them state after state. pic.twitter.com/clMFz4IaM3

The brother defames UP in Kerala, Gujarat in Assam and the sister hits a double insult and drags UP and Bihar through mud in Punjab. Then they have the audacity to talk about union of states. pic.twitter.com/UZEoY91MrZ

So Channi says ‘people from UP and Bihar will not be allowed to come to Punjab to have a good life’, and @priyankagandhi cheers, but Italians coming to India to have a good life is okay? pic.twitter.com/bpO5yUxs6i
