'Muted Inside, Loud Outside': Navjot Singh Sidhu's Bid to Stay a Stiff Challenger to Captain

When Navjot Singh Sidhu addressed a full-fledged press conference outside the Punjab assembly on Thursday, the first time in almost two years, political circles were abuzz with speculations about a major announcement. But the 40-minute press conference did not set off any 'political explosions' even though analysts began reading between the lines.

'Muted inside, loud outside. He has started to learn how Congress operates. Take a dig at your detractor but don't take it to a stage where you find yourself isolated,'' commented a senior party leader referring to Sidhu's 'explainer' press conference on the farm laws.
