Prove I tried to switch sides: Sidhu to Capt

Chandigarh, May 22

Former Congress minister Navjot Singh Sidhu, who has been critical of Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh over the sacrilege and police firing cases, today challenged the CM and his loyalists to prove that he had met any leader of other party for switching sides.

The Capt Amarinder camp has been targeting Sidhu for allegedly being in talks with the Aam Aadmi Party and is seeking action against him over his “outbursts” against the CM.

“Prove one meeting that I have had with another party’s leader. I have never asked anyone for any post till date. All I seek is Punjab’s prosperity. Was invited and offered Cabinet berth many times, but didn’t accept. Now, our esteemed high command has intervened. Will wait,” the Amritsar MLA tweeted.

Capt had recently claimed Sidhu was in talks with AAP and would quit the Congress.

Sidhu, however, is learnt to have told his colleagues, including MP Partap Singh Bajwa, that he won’t leave the Congress and would remain loyal to the Gandhi family. — TNS
