At receiving end of CM’s wit

Muktsar: Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal retains his witty side, and at times, puts it to full use. At a recently held Sangat Darshan in Muktsar, he did not spare anyone while drawing out hearty laughter at the same time. He first took a dig at Ferozepur MP Sher Singh Ghubaya, who reached a bit late: “Shukar hai tusi aa ta gaye. Chalo changi gall hai.” Then he granted funds for some elderly people for ‘sath’ (village common land), saying, “Ehna nu taash (cards) khedan vaaste 3 lakh de deyo.” In another village, he told the public, “Development de kamma de paise chahe jehde marzi kamm te laa deyo, par bas theke (liquor shop) ta naa laayo.” In another village, when an aged woman demanded construction of a street, Badal said, “Chhad Bibi...paath karya kar.” Later, he told some people who were standing, “Beh jaao, neeche kehre spring lagge hai.”
