Suspended Congress leader Navjot Kaur Sidhu has sought security and accused the Mann-led Punjab government of shielding land, liquor and mining mafia, flagging serious law-and-order concerns.
For long-time viewers, Sidhu’s presence was one of the original elements that gave the show its charm. His infectious energy and booming laughter were a staple.
In a letter to the Secretary, Punjab Civil Aviation Department, Sidhu has sought details of expenditure on the use of a helicopter and a fixed-wing aircraft by the state government during the past one-and-half-year under the Right to Information (RTI).
Even as the majority of Congress leaders in Punjab appear united against seat-sharing arrangement with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party…
Rayudu recently met the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. However, whether he will contest the assembly polls or Lok Sabha is not clear.
In a statement, the SAD spokesman NK Sharma said the tweet of Punjab Congress president Navjot Sidhu has brought the cat out of the bag.
Sidhu began his hunger strike on Friday evening demanding the son of Union minister Ajay Mishra be made part of the investigation in the Lakhimpur massacre.
Later, he said, “If the arrest is not made till tomorrow (Friday), or he does not join the investigation, I will go on a hunger strike."
“This fight is for our farmers,” he said, adding: “If UP police do not arrest the union minister's son, I will go on hunger strike. It is my "vachan" (promise)."
Meanwhile, the Uttar Pradesh government denied permission to Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi to visit the violence-hit district in Uttar Pradesh.
