Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal is apparently unaware of his actual age. In his nomination papers filed from the Lambi assembly constituency today, he claimed to be 84-year-old (as on January 10, 2012). However, in the 2007 assembly elections, he had stated that he was 76-year-old (as on January 22, 2007).
Interestingly, the CM has even taken an oath on both the occasions, raising a big question as to how he turned 84 from 76 in five years. Even the notary which attested both the affidavits is the same.
CEO Kusumjit Kaur Sidhu said, “It is not for us to challenge whatever is filed in the affidavit. If someone challenges it, we will act accordingly”.
