Navjot Singh Sidhu does a Mayawati in Bihar, asks Muslims to unite to ensure Congress victory

Punjab Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Tuesday appealed to Muslims in Bihar’s Katihar Lok Sabha constituency to vote unitedly to defeat Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the elections.

“You are in a 64% majority here,” Sidhu told the audience at the rally. “I have come to warn you, that these people [Bharatiya Janata Party] are trying to divide you. By bringing in a person like [All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin] Owaisi here, by introducing a new party here, they want to win the polls. If you get united – the minority is in a majority here – and vote together, Modi will be defeated. You will hit a six. Hit such a sixer that Modi lands outside the boundary.”

The AIMIM has fielded a candidate in Kishanganj constituency of Bihar.

The cricketer-turned-politician also said that he is always willing to help Muslims who come to Punjab for work. “You get love from us in Punjab,” he said. “If you face any problems in Punjab, I am a minister, approach me, I will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you.”
