Two arch-rivals in Punjab — the Congress’s Navjot Singh Sidhu and the Shiromani Akali Dal’s Bikram Singh Majithia, who are contesting from the Amritsar (East) constituency — on Sunday ran into each other at a polling booth.
The leaders, who have been relentlessly exchanging sharp words against each other on public platforms, especially on the drug menace, were spotted outside a polling booth in the Verka area of the city.
Donning a pink turban, Mr. Sidhu was moving towards the building while Mr. Majithia, in a blue turban, was on his way out. As they came face to face, the two leaders exchanged brief pleasantries, before moving ahead. The supporters were heard shouting slogans for their leaders as both of them expressed a calm gesture.
