We actually gave people too much to eat, they vomited: Sukhbir Badal's arrogant reasoning behind Punjab defeat

Former Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has not taken the party's defeat in the recently concluded Assembly polls too sportingly. 

He said that people will realise SAD's value after five years saying, "It is like if someone eats too much, he ends up vomiting. So we actually gave people too much to eat."

"Our value will be known when there will be drought for five years. Difference between good and bad is not known until acknowledged," he added.

Former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, who submitted his resignation, had accepted his defeat in the Punjab Assembly polls. Badal after tendering his resignation said that people of Punjab would soon know what the Congress will do for them

"This is the decision of the people and we accept it. Whatever they (Congress) will do will come in front of you," he said.

The Congress Party made a resounding comeback in Punjab after a gap of a decade, with 77 seats in the 117-member Assembly.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won less than it was expected to, though its 20 seats on debut made it the second largest party in the Punjab Assembly.

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alliance fared the worst with 18 seats.
