Navjot Singh Sidhu said he considered himself a soldier, doing his job and fighting on issues critical to Punjab, like its debt and fiscal deficit.
It is up to the Congress leadership to decide on a chief ministerial candidate in Punjab, Navjot Singh Sidhu said today, days after a senior leader said the party would not announce any name ahead of the state election.
The Punjab Congress chief said he considered himself a soldier, doing his job and fighting on issues critical to Punjab, like its debt and fiscal deficit.
"We are soldiers, we are doing our job. Those who want to make trouble are doing that. Sidhu is firm on issues. He does issue-based politics. And the biggest issue currently is that we have more than Rs 3 lakh crore debt. Our fiscal deficit is huge," Mr Sidhu told NDTV in an interview.
On allegations that he has been promising freebies during his campaign, the cricketer-turned-politician said: "This election is an investment. It is for the next generation. We are incentivizing. If we say that children will get some reward when they study. Is that a lollipop or freebie?"
