Bir Devinder backs Capt’s decision

Patiala, January 29

After going all out to press the party leadership to contest the Khadoor Sahib bypolls till recently, former deputy speaker and Punjab Congress leader Bir Devinder Singh today took a U- turn and threw his weight behind Capt Amarinder Singh.

Bir Devinder had recently issued a statement claiming that ‘Congress must contest the bypoll with Ramanjit Singh Sikki as its candidate.” However, in a statement today the Congress leader said that a “final decision on such matters always rest with the party top brass.” — TNS
