"It is a historic victory with which all the parties including BJP, Akali Dal, Congress, AAP will be perplexed because we have won after a long time," said Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) leader Simranjit Singh Mann
Simranjit Singh Mann, the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) candidate who won the bypoll from Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's home turf Sangrur, attributed his victory to extremist leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and said he would raise the issues of "Indian Army's atrocities in Kashmir" in parliament. Result of Sangrur, Punjab bypolls must serve as an alarm bell for all the stakeholders of Punjab. The mandate given by people is always supreme & this time it has tipped in favour of Simranjit Singh Mann. However, Mann's ideology has proven toxic for Punjab & our Nation in the past. His Khalistani agenda is a threat to the peace & integrity of Punjab & Country.1/2
