Sidhu’s changing colours

-

Punjab local bodies minister Navjot

Singh Sidhu keeps everyone guessing. The mercurial minister had along with 15 councillor­s boycotted the swearing-in ceremony of newly elected members of the Amritsar municipal corporatio­n to show resentment at not being consulted in selection Navjot Singh of the city

Sidhu mayor. However, there seems to have been a change of heart since. First, he showed “brotherly love” with newly elected mayor Karamjit Singh Rintu during an event in the city. Then, he attended the first meeting of the House on Friday and occupied the main chair, flanked by Rintu, who requested him to sit on dais, and municipal commission­er Sonali Giri. Sidhu also made announceme­nts worth crore of rupees for the civic body. The next day, the minister was seen accompanyi­ng chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh during his visit to the city. No hard feelings now?
