Amritsar: The Temple town of Amritsar is set to witness a high-voltage contest in the upcoming Punjab Assembly polls as SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia to contest against Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Amritsar East seat.
Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Wednesday announced this here in a press conference.
