Amritsar, November 1
Former MLA Navjot Kaur Sidhu today asserted there was no political tussle between CM Charanjit Singh Channi and PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu over ‘Chief Minister’s chair’ and that the fight was over resolving issues concerning the state.
At an event in the Amritsar East constituency, represented by her husband, Navjot Kaur justified the reported stepping down of APS Deol as the Advocate General (AG), saying Sidhu had objected to his appointment as he had represented former DGP Sumedh Singh Saini, an accused in the 2015 Kotkapura police firing case, in court.
“CM Channi and Sidhu meet daily. There has never been any concern over the ‘CM’s post’ or any ‘position’ in the party, but for issues concerning the state. Anyone who addresses the issues of liquor and sand, and offers better healthcare and education should be the CM.
“When issues are being resolved efficiently by the Chief Minister and his Cabinet, it needs to be appreciated. Sidhu has never been annoyed with the working, but has been demanding rollback of wrong decisions such as AG’s appointment as he appeared for Saini,” she said. — TNS
