"Known This Boy Since His Childhood, A Loner": Amarinder Singh On Navjot Sidhu
NDTV
Amarinder Singh called Navjot Sidhu a "shifty character", typical of someone who had "deserted the Indian team in 1996 in England".
Amarinder Singh, after delivering a "told-you-so" barb at the Gandhis on rival Navjot Singh Sidhu's shock resignation as Punjab Congress chief, stacked up more digs at the cricketer-turned-politician. Navjot Sidhu's resignation within two months of taking over the vital post was "sheer drama" and suggests that he is preparing to quit the Congress and join hands with another party ahead of polls early next year, the former Punjab Chief Minister said on Tuesday.
Earlier, he had tweeted: "I told you so...he is not a stable man and not fit for the border state of Punjab."
He called Mr Sidhu a "shifty character", typical of someone who had "deserted the Indian team in 1996 in England".
"That's what his real character is. I've known this boy since his childhood and he has been a loner and can never be a team player," said Mr Singh.
