After an uproar over his call “not to let bhaiyas from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar enter and rule Punjab”, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi said on Thursday that his statement was twisted.
Mr. Channi’s remark invited a sharp criticism from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar among others, who accused the Congress leader of insulting the people of U.P. and Bihar and playing divisive politics.
