Mantri Sidhu’s grand plans
After the day’s proceedings in the state assembly got over, finance minister Manpreet Badal and local bodies minister Navjot Sidhu on Friday met reporters to clarify some issues. Asked how some private buses were still plying illegally in the state, Sidhu said the transport department was with the chief minister. “I can’t do anything. Je main mantri hunda main taan poonchan chaka dinda jehre illegal bussan chala rehe ney (had I been the minister, I would have pulled all such people by their tails for operating illegal buses),” he said. Badal, who was sitting beside him, smiled.
