AMRITSAR: Cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu on Tuesday won byelections to the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat, from which he had resigned after his conviction for culpable homicide in a road rage case, by a huge margin.

Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Sidhu defeated his nearest rival, state Finance Minister Surinder Singla of the Congress, by 77,626 votes.

Singla represented Bathinda assembly constituency and his party fielded him against Sidhu in the parliamentary bypolls held along with the assembly elections on February 13.

Sidhu paid obeisance at the Harmandar Sahib (Golden Temple) in the evening.

He said the defeat of the Congress in the assembly polls reflected the discontentment among the masses with the policies of the party.
