Amid a political row over her ‘Rs 500 crore for chief minister’s chair’ remark, Congress leader Navjot Kaur Sidhu has said a twist was given to her “straight comment”.
“I am shocked to see the twist given to a straight comment saying that our Congress party has never demanded anything from us. On being asked about Navjot becoming a CM face from any other party, I stated that we have no money to offer for a CM post,” Kaur said in a post on X on Sunday evening.
Former Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu’s wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu had triggered a row on Saturday by claiming that “one who gives a suitcase of Rs 500 crore becomes the CM”
Speaking to reporters, Kaur had said her husband will return to active politics if the Congress declares him as the party’s chief ministerial face in Punjab.
