“Bhagwant Mann preferred to stick to his chair, but I preferred to stand with Punjab,” claims CM’s ex-OSD Manjit Singh Sidhu, maintaining that his break-up with Mann is not personal.Their friendship began at a college in Sunam in 1990, long before Bhagwant Mann became Punjab Chief Minister and Manjit Singh Sidhu became his Officer on Special Duty (OSD).
