Amritsar, October 18
Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu, wife of PPCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu, has shown her inclination to contest from the Amritsar (East) constituency.
She held a special camp on old electricity bills of poor consumers, in the constituency, represented by Sidhu.
Dr Sidhu was also an MLA from the constituency in 2012, but on BJP ticket. When Sidhu switched over to the Congress, he started off his innings from the constituency.
“The works worth Rs 100 crore were executed in the (East) constituency during my tenure as MLA. In 2017, too, my name was recommended for Amritsar (East) and Sidhu was asked to choose any other seat, but he didn’t let me contest then. Now, if given a chance, I will contest from here again,” she said.
She supported the Centre’s decision of enhancing the BSF’s jurisdiction from 5 km to 50 km from the India-Pakistan border. “If it is for safeguarding the national security and curbing smuggling of drugs, arms and other forbidden material, it is the right decision,” she said.
She was all praise for CM Charanjit Channi and Minister Amrinder Singh Raja Warring’s working style. — TNS
