Speaking to reporters after inaugurating the poll office of Ludhiana candidate Manpreet Singh Ayali in Sarabha Nagar here, SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal said Congress was on its way out and would not be able to win more than 65 seats in the whole country.
He took a dig at current Ludhiana MP and Union Minister Manish Tewari for dithering on the choice of constituency.
"Why should he think of running away from Ludhiana from where he had won with a huge margin in 2009," Sukhbir asked and said "It is not good to desert friends in adversity."
On his cousin and PPP chief Manpreet Singh Badal's move in ally with Congress and contest Bathinda Lok Sabha seat against his wife Harsimrat Kaur, Sukhbir termed it as "a union of a handicapped person with a defective stick".
"Every seat in Punjab is a Bathinda for us where we shall give them a crushing defeat," he said.
