OPINION | BHAGWANT MANN IN 'AAP KI ADALAT'

India TV News  

Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann was my guest this weekend in 'Aap Ki Adalat' where he replied to a wide range of questions relating to his second marriage, his alcoholic bouts, the gruesome murder of singer Siddhu Moosewala, use of narcotics in Punjab, the rise of separatist Khalistani elements and sundry other issues. OPPOSITION UNITY EFFORTS FACING OBSTACLES Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar has convened a conclave of all opposition parties including Congress in Patna on June 23, but already his efforts at forging opposition unity are facing obstacles. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann told me in 'Aap Ki Adalat' show that Congress is on the verge of extinction and it will become a part of fables and legends soon. With regional parties like TMC setting conditions, and small caste-based parties in Bihar and UP walking away from opposition unity efforts, Nitish Kumar's aim for achieving unity among opposition parties may be difficult to achieve.
