Surprised at the behavior of the Chief Minister
On Chief Minister Amarinder Singh’s stand of not meeting Sidhu till he publicly apologized, some MLAs said there was no need for it. Minister Randhawa said that he was surprised at the behavior of the Chief Minister. He said that Sidhu’s appointment to the post of state chief has to be accepted and respected by all, irrespective of the differences between them in the past.
Randhawa said that even before this senior leaders Pratap Singh Bajwa and Sukhpal Singh Khaira also had differences with Amarinder Singh, but now everything has been resolved. Randhawa questioned, then why can’t the Chief Minister end his differences with Sidhu.
