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 — Amit Malviya (@amitmalviya) February 16, 2022 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। — Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) February 16, 2022 Meanwhile, Punjab Assembly polls is scheduled to be held on February 20 and the counting of votes will take place on March 10. However, Charanjit Singh Channi is the Congress’s official chief ministerial candidate in the Punjab election. Others too strongly condemned Charanjit Singh Cahanni's remark: Won't let People from UP & Bihar to come in Punjab & enjoy good lifestyle: Punjab CM Channi; Priyanka Gandhi smiles & claps. Modiji is relentlessly working towards Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas & Congress still continuing divide & rule policy,can't see all citizens of living together. pic.twitter.com/gIVCbpPOTs — Vishnu Vardhan Reddy (@SVishnuReddy) February 16, 2022 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 — Bhupender Yadav (@byadavbjp) February 16, 2022 Punjab chief minister Channi says that he will not allow "people from UP and Bihar to come to Punjab to have a good life".
