Punjab Congress Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Tuesday, 2 November, at what may have been veiled jibes at his own party-led state government, attacked politicians who offer “lollipops” before polls.
He was speaking at the function for formation of Sanyukt Hindu Mahasabha, Punjab, reported TOI. News agency PTI quoted Sidhu as saying:
"They (politicians) offer lollipops... this is free, that is free, which happened in the last two months (ahead of the Punjab Assembly polls slated to be held early next year).”
