<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In one of his tweets, Sidhu said: “We the 78 MLAs of Congress, could never imagine, what we received and arm-twisted, ED controlled BJP loyal Chief Minister of Punjab…who sold the interest of Punjab to save his skin! You were the negative force stalling Justice &amp; development of Punjab.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In another tweet, Sidhu said: “You wanted to close doors on me, as I was raising voice of the People, speaking truth to power! Last time you formed your own party, you lost your ballot, garnering only 856 votes…People of Punjab are again waiting to punish you for compromising on the interests of Punjab !!”</p>
