Amidst reports that Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu may be announced the PPCC chief soon, his aide and Jalandhar Cantonment MLA Pargat Singh, who for the past over a month had been quite vocal about the functioning of the state government and had targeted CM Capt Amarinder Singh, seems upbeat at the likely move.

Asked if he felt the things were now on the right track, Pargat said: “Some action has begun for sure. A new SIT has been formed to probe the post-sacrilege firing. Farm loans to the tune of Rs 590 crore too have been announced for landless farmers and labourers. Things have begun moving in the right direction. We still have time for course correction. I have always been insisting that we must do everything before going to people and asking for votes.”

Stressing he only intended to bring things in order, Pargat said: “The perception in people’s minds about the government needed to improve.”
