Navjot Singh Sidhu vs Bikram Singh Majithia: Poll battle gets tougher in Punjab’s Amritsar East assembly constituency

Making the battle tough, SAD (B) has fielded former Akali minister Bikram Singh Majithia against Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu from Amritsar East constituency. 

Amritsar: Ahead of Punjab Assembly polls, Amritsar East assembly constituency has come under focus after SAD (B) announced to field former Akali minister Bikram Singh Majithia against state Congress Committee president Navjot Singh Sidhu from the seat.

Party has already announced to field Majithia from Majitha assembly constituency but given the stakes and make Sidhu concentrate more in Amritsar East assembly constituency instead of focusing on pan-state poll campaign for Congress, the SAD (B) think tanks deemed it fit to field Majithia against Sidhu.

After announcing Majithia’s name, SAD(B) president Sukhbir Singh Badal had stated Navjot Sidhu’s “arrogance will be his downfall”. He has been harping on his voice to have support among the masses but now his support will be tested with ‘Majha da sher’ taking him on in his home constituency”, Badal said adding that Akali’s would not only break his arrogance but also ensure that his security deposit was forfeited.
