Posters project Navjot Singh Sidhu as Punjab CM face

LUDHIANA: On a day when Congress Punjab affairs incharge Harish Rawat claimed that formula has been devised to do away with differences between Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh and prominent leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, hoardings of Sidhu as “next CM face” were put up at several places in the city. These hoardings were put up by supporters who do not belong to Congress, sources said.
Jasssraj Grewal, a Sidhu supporter who has put up a majority of these hoardings, said, “Across all parties, it’s only Navjot Singh Sidhu who deserves to be the next chief minister of Punjab. It would be in best interest of the Congress if it declares Sidhu as its CM face for the next elections as masses have accepted him as their leader from the core of their hearts due to his clean image. It is also certain that once Sidhu becomes CM, all the mafias — sand mafia, transport mafia, drug mafia — will be completely wiped out from the state.”
Rinkle Sharma, another supporter of Sidhu, said, “Today there has been a positive development in the Congress to resolve differences between Sidhu and CM Amarinder Singh. We are hoping that Sidhu will be appointed Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president and will be given a freehand to decide the candidates for next elections.”
