Cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu on Tuesday won the by-election to the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat by a huge margin. He had earlier resigned from the seat after his conviction for culpable homicide in a road rage case.
Sidhu visited the Golden Temple on Tuesday evening told reporters that the defeat of the Congress in the Assembly polls reflected the discontentment among the masses with the policies of the party.
