Sidhu compares PM Modi to 'a bride who only pretends to work'

Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Punjab Minister and Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Saturday said Modi is like a bride who pretends to work. Talking to the media in Indore, Sidhu said, "Modi is like that bride who only pretends to work. 

"This is the only routine of the Modi government, he said.

(Modi Ji uss dulhan ki tarah hain jo roti kum baelti hai aur chudiyaan zada khankati hai taaki mohalle walon ko yeh pata chale ki woh kaam kar rahi hai. Bas yahi hua hai Modi sarkaar mein.)
