Referring to AAP, Channi had said these "kale angrez" are trying to take over Punjab after "chitte angrez" (British) were ousted from the country.
"I want to tell them (Congress) once our government comes to power, the man wearing ordinary clothes and whose complexion is dark will fulfil all promises.
I don"t make false announcements or false promises," AAP’s national convener told reporters en route to Pathankot from Amritsar.
