Punjab polls: Congress CM’s face to decide whether 60 contestants become MLAs, says Navjot Sidhu

Chandigarh, February 5

A chief ministerial face will decide whether 60 candidates are elected as MLAs or not, Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu said on Saturday, referring to the number 60, one more than 59 lawmakers needed to form government in Punjab with 117-member assembly.

Without naming any party, Sidhu made the remark ahead of the announcement of the Congress’ chief ministerial face by the party’s former president Rahul Gandhi during his visit to Ludhiana for the February 20 Punjab assembly polls.

Sidhu also stressed that a person who has a roadmap for Punjab and who enjoys the people’s trust can only ensure 60 contestants get elected as legislators.
