Back
in
2006,
Bhagwant
Mann
was
on
stage
cracking
jokes
when
Navjot
Singh
Sidhu
was
on
the
other
side
judging
the
contestants
of
The
Great
Indian
Laughter
Challenge.
In
a
throwback
video
from
the
show,
we
see
Mann
cracking
a
joke
about
politics.
He
said,
"I
asked
a
politician
what
rajneeti
(politics)
means.
He
told
me
it
is
the
act
of
deciding
how
to
govern.
Then
I
asked
what
gormint
(government)
means.
He
said
it
means
those
who
gaur
(look
closely)
at
each
issue
only
to
forget
it
a
mint
(minute)
later." As
soon
as
Bhagwant
cracked
the
joke,
judge
Navjot
Singh
is
heard
bursting
into
laughter.
Take
a
look!
It
must
be
noted
that
no
one
had
imagined
the
clip
would
gain
a
whole
new
layer
of
irony
years
later.
As
per
the
current
election
results,
the
Aam
Aadmi
Party
(AAP)
has
gained
a
majority
in
the
state
of
Punjab
and
will
form
the
next
government.
Bhagwant
Mann,
who
was
the
chief
ministerial
face
of
the
party
in
the
state,
is
all
set
to
become
the
next
chief
minister
of
Punjab.
Meanwhile,
Navjot
Singh
Sidhu,
who
now
heads
the
Congress
in
Punjab,
will
have
to
prove
himself
all
over
again.
Born
in
Sangrur's
Satoj
village
in
October
1973,
Mann
commenced
his
political
career
began
in
2011
after
a
successful
stint
as
an
entertainer.
His
appearance
on
The
Great
Indian
Laughter
Challenge
was
a
high
point
in
his
career.
He
then
went
on
to
appear
in
a
number
of
comedy
videos
and
music
albums.
Bhagwant
has
even
made
his
presence
felt
in
Punjabi
films
such
as
22g
Tusi
Ghaint
Ho
and
Police
in
Pollywood.
