New DelhiOne hour ago
In Punjab, the Congress high command has found a way to end the confrontation between Chief Minister Amarinder Singh and Navjot Sidhu. Sidhu can be made the president of Punjab Congress. It is believed that Sidhu was constantly in conflict with Amarinder regarding this position and stature.
According to reports, a way of reconciliation has been found in the meeting held between Sonia, Priyanka, Amarinder’s chief advisor Prashant Kishor and Punjab Congress in-charge Harish Rawat at Rahul Gandhi’s residence recently.
Sidhu will get the team, Amarinder will continue as CM
At present, Punjab Congress President is Sunil Jakhar. Captain Amarinder Singh was opposing the appointment of Sidhu as the Punjab Congress chief. He said that this post should not be given to Sidhu by ignoring the senior leaders of Punjab. However, sources say that the high command has made up its mind and talks have also been held about choosing Sidhu as its team. Earlier, after the meeting held at Rahul’s residence, Harish Rawat had said that Amarinder would continue in his chief minister’s chair.
Sidhu engaged in gathering support in the party
The Congress high command can announce about Sidhu soon. Meanwhile, Sidhu is busy garnering the support of leaders within the party. His supporters have also started preparations at the Golden Temple in Amritsar. It is being told that after being made the Punjab Congress President, Navjot Sidhu will go there first.
Rahul-Priyanka Gandhi had a meeting
The Congress high command had a meeting on Wednesday on the discord in Punjab. After this, Harish Rawat had indicated that the ongoing discord in the party’s Punjab unit would end soon. He had said that good news will come for Punjab Congress in the next three-four days. Everyone in Punjab Congress will be happy.
so bad thing
- After the sacrilege incident of Guru Granth Sahib in 2015, the Punjab government had formed an SIT for the firing on people sitting on a dharna in Kotkapura. Last month, the High Court had dismissed this SIT and its report.
- After this a lot of tussle started in the Congress. A section of the Congress alleged that the Advocate General did not present the case properly in the court, while Sidhu continued to attack Amarinder on the issue.
- Apart from Sidhu, cabinet ministers Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Charanjit Singh Channi, Rajya Sabha member Pratap Singh Bajwa, MP Ravneet Bittu united against the Punjab government and Captain. After this, MLAs Pargat Singh, Surjit Singh Dhiman also raised questions on the performance of the government.
- Recently, on May 26, on the completion of 6 months of the farmers’ agitation, on one hand, the Chief Minister appealed to the farmers’ organizations not to protest. On the contrary, Sidhu had hoisted black flags at his residence in Patiala and Amritsar in protest against the agricultural laws.
High command in action after Sidhu leans towards AAP
Recently, Sidhu pointed to new political equations by praising the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Sidhu tweeted on Tuesday that the opposition AAP in Punjab has always recognized his vision and work. Be it the issues of sacrilege, drugs, farmers and corruption in 2017 or the current power crisis in the state or now I am presenting the Punjab model. They know who is really fighting for Punjab.
