The Akali-BJP MLAs had on Thursday decided to target Sidhu in the Assembly today. The MLAs proposed to raise issues concerning the Local Bodies Department and the minister’s alleged inability to deliver.
They had also planned to rake up the issue of the Amritsar train tragedy, which took place during a Dasehra function where the minister’s wife was the chief guest.
Sources in the SAD had said they proposed to take up the issue of poor civil infrastructure in areas managed by urban local bodies, mainly due to paucity of funds as well as the minister’s decision to not allot tenders for various road projects.
