Bikram Majithia vs Navjot Sidhu: More of a personal fight, say locals

With SAD MLA and ex-minister Bikram Majithia throwing hat into the ring in Amritsar East, the home turf of his arch-rival Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu, for the ensuing 2022 Assembly polls, the stakes are high on both sides.

Residents feel that it would be a tough fight, which could tilt on either side. Both candidates have remained unbeaten on the political pitch. Sidhu was three-time MP and sitting MLA from East, whereas Bikram was a three-time MLA from Majitha.
