Ayaram-Gayaram and those doing money power politics betrayed the mandate of Devbhoomi: Sukhu
On the other hand, after the rebels joined BJP, CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu reacted on social media. He wrote – Aayaram-Gayaram and those doing money power politics have chosen their destination today by betraying the mandate of Devbhoomi. Today he is sitting with those who made fun of the employees for asking for OPS. Who did the paper leak scam and hung the results of the youth. Those who stood against women for their own benefit, who crushed the ideals and values of Devbhoomi with their dishonesty and horse-trading politics. But, in democracy the people are the people.
