'Mann govt won't last long beyond June 4'

Home minister Amit Shah predicted on Sunday the end of the Bhagwant Mann govt in Punjab after June 4, saying it was a mystery to him whether the latter wanted to govern the state or be AAP convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's "personal pilot".

"He (Mann) accompanies Kejriwal in a helicopter. The saving grace is that he did not go with Kejriwal to jail," Shah said in Ludhiana, where he was campaigning for BJP candidate Ravneet Singh Bittu. "Mann should have been controlling corruption in Punjab. But Kejriwal has to fight his case and needs to pay (legal) fees. He gets it from 'Punjab ATM', his den of corruption. He uses the 'Mann credit card' and takes the money to Delhi," Shah said.
