Amritsar, June 06: Hours after he skipped the Cabinet meeting, Navjot Singh Sidhu has been stripped of his local bodies portfolio by Punjab Chief Minister, Captain Amarinder Sigh.

Minutes before Singh advised the Governor to divest Sidhu of his most important portfolio, he had said that he cannot be taken for granted and he is answerable to the people of Punjab. Singh will now handle the portfolio himself.
