Rahul to decide Sidhu's role

Speculation was rife that Sidhu, who had left BJP to join Cong before polls, would be made deputy CM

Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh who is set to become chief minister of the state on Thursday is not sure about the role of former-cricketer-turned-TV- personality Navjot Singh Sidhu (pictured right) in the new government. Singh has left it to Congress Vice-president Rahul (pictured) Gandhi to take a call on the matter. Speculation was rife that Sidhu, who had left the Bharatiya Janata Party to join the Congress just before the Assembly polls, would be made deputy chief minister. That Sidhu joined the party in the presence of Gandhi in Delhi, not in Chandigarh, had fuelled rumours that a section of state party leaders were miffed over his induction.
