Trivia. Mann and Capt Amarinder Singh are married to real sisters.
#Sangrur For Those ill-informed whattsapp university graduates will help themselves if they read up about the 1989 elections in Punjab. How and why Mann and his party won six LS seats including that of Bimal kaur Khalsa, is well known .
Mann was elected again in 1999 correction. So he will be in LS for third time
