Navjot Sidhu's "Honest" Praise For Bhagwant Mann, Day After Puppet Jibe

The praise by Navjot Sidhu came a day after he accused the Punjab government of acting like a puppet of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu has praised Bhagwant Mann as a "honest man" and said he would rise above party lines and support the Punjab Chief Minister in any move to take on the mafia in the state.

The praise by Mr Sidhu, known to stir up a hornet's nest with his statements, came a day after he slammed the Punjab government over the police action against former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Kumar Vishwas and Alka Lamba and accused it of acting like a puppet of Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal.
