Chandigarh: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Bhagwant Mann lost his cool on a journalist on Tuesday while holding a press conference in Chandigarh.
The Lok Sabha MP from Sangrur got angry after the journalist questioned his party's visibility in the state and said that it seems the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is the main Opposition party in Punjab as it was protesting against the Congress government.
"Who says this? You are taking Sukhbir Badal seriously...," Mann said in his reply.
