These Lok Sabha polls are for saving democracy, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said on Thursday and added there will be no more elections if people miss this chance, as he targeted the BJP over its "divisive politics".

Mann also slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his "mangalsutra" remarks, saying it was "shameful" to make such a statement for votes.

The chief minister made these remaks during a poll rally in Gurdaspur, where the AAP has fielded Amansher Singh Sherry Kalsi.

The seat is currently represented by the BJP's Sunny Deol.

Addressing a gathering, Mann asked people to ensure victory for AAP candidates on all 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab.

He said these elections are not about winning or losing.

"These elections are to save the Constitution written by BR Ambedkar and to save democracy. If we miss this chance and vote on the basis of religious and hateful propaganda, then you note that there will be no more elections. There will be a dictatorship. There will be no voting," he claimed.

The AAP leader also took part in a roadshow in Amritsar in support of party candidate Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal.
