Coming out of the polling booth in Amritsar city, Navjot Singh Siddhu said he used his franchise to contribute towards the formation of BJP government.

"This is a government by the people and for the people so, today we have come to cast our vote and build the future of India by casting vote. We have come to elect honest leaders in politics and have come to give in our contribution towards the formation of government of Badal," said Siddhu.

Siddhu added BJP alone would win more than 15 seats in the state.
