Amritsar (Punjab) [India], March 11 : A day after Congress debacle in Punjab polls, party chief Navjot Singh Sidhu said "you reap what you sow" while noting there is a need to sow new seeds and 'chintan' and not 'chinta' should be done.

"People who dug holes for Sidhu got buried in holes 10ft deeper. Let bygones be bygones... People have voted for AAP for a change, I congratulate them... New seeds have to be sown... not 'chinta' (worry) but 'chintan' (deliberation) should be done," Sidhu told ANI.
Apart from Sidhu, Chief Minster Charanjit Singh Channi lost the polls. Channi had been declared Congress' chief ministerial candidate.

"You reap what you sow...This election was for a change...people took a great decision...public is never wrong..." he said.
"People have voted for AAP for a change, I congratulate them...People who dug holes for Sidhu got buried in holes 10ft deeper. Let bygones be bygones... People have voted for AAP for a change, I congratulate them," he added.
