Sidhu files nomination from Amritsar East, challenges SAD’s Majithia to contest from this seat only

Punjab Congress President Navjot Singh Sidhu on Saturday filed his nomination papers from Amritsar East and challenged SAD’s Bikram Singh Majithia to contest only from this constituency and not from Majitha seat. Along with the Amritsar East assembly constituency, the Shiromani Akali Dal leader is contesting from the Majitha seat, which he currently holds.

Talking to reporters after filing his nomination papers from Amritsar East, Sidhu said, “If you (Majithia) have so much strength and people have faith, then leave Majithia and contest from one seat here. War! Do you have guts? Hitting out at the Akalis who fielded Majithia from his constituency, Sidhu said, “They have come only to play the game of loot. But in this ‘Dharma Yudh’ they will not succeed because where there is ‘Dharma’ there is victory.” Sidhu accused the Akali Dal of “plundering” Punjab.
