Sidhu has put no conditions, says Congress

Punjab Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh on Wednesday clarified that Navjot Singh Sidhu’s decision to join the Congress was unconditional, with no strings attached.

On having a deputy chief minister in the state, he asserted that the decision would be taken by the Congress president and the vice president at the appropriate time.

Capt Amarinder said Sidhu would be the party’s candidate for Amritsar East as announced by the latter’s wife.

The delay in  joining the party was on account of his professional commitments, which he wanted to complete before getting into election gear, he said.

“Sidhu will be joining soon,” he said.
