Punjab: Congress leaders protest power shortage in Rajpura; Sidhu joins, Warring missing

A section of state Congress leaders Monday organised a dharna outside the Rajpura thermal plant to protest power shortage in the state with former PPCC chief Navjot Sidhu mocking the AAP government over its free power promise. While the dharna was organised by former Rajpura Congress MLA Hardyal Singh Kamboj, state Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring was not aware of the dharna, party sources said.

Speaking at the dharna, Sidhu said: “We don’t fight for designations, but for people. We fight for issues. I will go to other places to fight for people’s rights. I will also visit Sangrur to be with the youngsters who are protesting for jobs…Congress haari hai, mari nahi (Congress has lost the election, its not dead).”
