Bhagwant Mann is not arrogant and is receptive to others' viewpoint, Congress's Navjot Sidhu said today after a meeting with the Punjab Chief Minister. After the 50-minute meeting, Mr Sidhu took a dig at the Congress and the Akalis, saying the previous chief ministers did not have time for their own MLAs and senior leaders. Most constructive 50 minutes spent… Reiterated the pro Punjab agenda that I have stood for years… Talked about means to generate income, it's the only solution to end Punjab's problem… CM @BhagwantMann was very receptive… Assured that he will deliver on people's aspirations… pic.twitter.com/BH77c1QFNX
Earlier today, Punjab minister Laljit Singh Bhullar had said Mr Mann would meet the cricketer-turned-politician, who is no longer an MLA, MP or a minister. After the election, Mr Sidhu even had to step down from the post of the state Congress chief.
Mr Sidhu had announced yesterday that he would meet Mr Mann to discuss matters related to the revival of the state's economy.
"I came here for Punjab's progress. What should I say about CM saab (Mann), he has no ego and arrogance. He is the same today like he was 10-15 years back and even six months back," Mr Sidhu was quoted as saying by news agency Press Trust of India. "He has as much pain as I have," he had added.
