‘Ek Tha Joker’: Congress hits back at CM Bhagwant Mann’s ‘Ek Thi Cong’ jibe, I.N.D.I.A bloc rift widens
Congress has responded to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s ‘Ek Thi Congress’ jibe saying ‘Ek Tha Joker’ adding that dreams of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and PM Modi are so similar as they both want a ‘Congress mukt bharat’ (Congress-free India).
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Congress leader Pawan Khera said, “How similar are the views of ‘AAP’ and Modi ji!! Both of them dream of a Congress-free India… by the way, the name of a Bhojpuri picture is ‘Ek Tha Joker’. You must have seen it?”
Pawan Khera’s response has come after CM Bhawant Mann while speaking to reporters said, “In Punjab and Delhi, mothers can tell the world’s shortest story to their children – Ek Thi Cong (there was once a Congress).”
When asked about the issue of seat adjustment among I.N.D.I.A. bloc partners, Mann said these matters would be discussed in the alliance meeting and added, “Only after things are finalised we will be able to tell”.
“We are fighting for the country. If the Constitution is saved, then everything else will remain,” he said.
