Garhshankar, January 14

Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today called former BJP MP Navjot Singh Sidhu a wheeler-dealer. “He will join a party when the best deal is struck,” Badal told reporters. He was here to address a rally in support of Akali candidate Surinder Singh Bhullewal Rathan.

The CM said everyone wanted to contest against him from Lambi or against Sukhbir Badal from Jalalabad. “It’s just a gimmick to befool the people. Does it matter who contests from where? I don’t mind even if Rahul Gandhi is fielded from Lambi,” Badal added. He said AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal planned to oust Punjabi leaders by making them contest against senior leaders of other parties. “When they will lose, he will show them the door,” the CM said.
