Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Thursday said he would soon take up with the Congress high command the issue of Navjot Singh Sidhu’s damaging remarks ahead of polling in Punjab, which he said might have affected the party’s performance in Bathinda. The Chief Minister also said the performance of the ministers would be reviewed in the backdrop of the Lok Sabha results in the state. “We will review the performance of the ministers, it was not a veiled threat made by the party before the elections,” he told media persons at a press conference this afternoon.

Reacting to the former MP joining the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Friday mocked Jagmeet Singh Brar’s opportunistic, last-ditch resort to rescue his political career after failing to wriggle his way back into the Congress.

It was obvious, said the Chief Minister , that Brar had a political agenda to further and was ready to do it by hook or by crook. The former MP had, for the last several weeks, been trying unabashedly to get into the Congress but, with the party high command refusing to intervene and he ( Captain Amarinder ) himself not responding to any of Brar’s desperate messages, the former MP had decided to throw his weight behind the SAD
