Speaking at a function in Rajpura, Badal said he had predicted that the Congress would be eliminated from the country in the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls and his prophecy has come true as the party has failed miserably.
He said it was a "trailer and the full picture" was yet to come as the Congress has been badly routed in Delhi, which was once considered as a strong bastion of the party.
Earlier speaking at a function in Bathinda, the Chief Minister said that "now the time has come to reply suitably to the Congress." "The results of assembly elections are a clear indicator that the people of the country have completely rejected the Congress," he said.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister and SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal announced to spread the party's reach at the national level. He said that the next target of SAD is Uttar Pradesh and it would field its candidates in UP in seats having a sizeable Punjabi population.
