Chief Minister Amarinder Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu are face to face on various issues. Sidhu was appointed as the President of Punjab Congress on Sunday night. Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal said Sidhu’s record as a local bodies minister was well known to all, during which he did nothing to improve the condition of any town or city in the state.
Badal said in a statement here that now the Congress is trying to replace its failed Chief Minister with former minister Sidhu, who is known more for theatricality rather than administrative role, in another drama. He alleged that the Congress government was not only following the policy of divide and rule but was also run by the worst Chief Minister in the history of Punjab.
AAP’s Punjab unit chief Bhagwant Mann said the tussle within the Congress for a single post has caused great damage to Punjab, Punjabis and ‘Punjabiat’. Mann said in a statement here that now the Congress will have to pay the price along with interest in the upcoming assembly elections.
The Sangrur MP said that the only agenda of all Congress leaders is to capture the seat. “Someone is fighting to save the chair and someone is trying to grab that chair,” he said. Mann said that the people of Punjab have made up their mind to teach a lesson to the Congress in the 2022 assembly elections.
