Earlier PM Narendra Modii mocked his strident critic in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, "I generally tell people 'ghee piyo'...But if Bhagwant Mann were to tell people, he will ask them to drink something else."

While talking to Indian Express Mann condemned PM Modi’s statement: “Today’s speech in Parliament showed his fear in elections. He made some baseless allegations against me.”

Taking on the PM, Mann told Indian Express, “PM Modi’s speech was of Sarpanch level. He forgets he is addressing the mecca of democracy. He speaks like Morarji Bapu. I felt I was in the satsang of some Baba for an hour and forty five minutes."
The Sangrur Lok Sabha MP Bhagwant Mann is a former comedian who is hugely popular in Punjab. He is one of the prominent faces of Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab.
