The Punjab CM said that Rahul Gandhi has no moral right to say anything about democracy or democratic norms reminding the Gandhi scion that he has been elected Chief Minister by the people of Punjab who had given a whopping mandate in favour of their party.
He said that unlike Charanjit Singh Channi, "who was made Chief Minister by Rahul Gandhi", he has been chosen by people to serve them.
CM Mann further said that little knowledge is always dangerous and that is what Rahul Gandhi is proving by issuing baseless statements in the state.
"Congress had caused irreparable damage to democratic norms by running the Chief Ministers like puppets. Rahul Gandhi should peep into his conscience before making any statement on the issue," he added.

The Punjab CM said that the Congress leader has forgotten that "hands of his family are drenched with murder of democracy in the country and people will never forgive them for this sin".
