CHANDIGARH: Reiterating that he continues to be a Congressman, party MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu has challenged Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to prove that he had met leader of any other party to switch loyalty.
The cricketer-turned-politician was talking in the context of the Chief Minister’s recent attack on Sidhu that he was in talks with AAP and would quit the Congress. “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 berths many times, but I did not accept. Now, our esteemed high command has intervened. Will wait,” Sidhu tweeted.
Sidhu has already told his party colleagues, including MP Partap Singh Bajwa, that he would never leave the Congress and would remain loyal to the Gandhi family. Sources said the Chief Minister’s loyalists, including some ministers, were of the opinion that Sidhu was allegedly pursuing his own agenda and quit the Congress whenever it suited him.
