A big discord has started in Punjab Congress ahead of the appointment of a new chief. Former Deputy CM Sukhjinder Randhawa called Navjot Sidhu a firangi. Those who changed party and came to Congress. Randhawa said that Firangi destroyed our entire party. Randhawa said that our elders did a lot for the Congress but the firangis coming from outside ruined everything. Sidhu stayed in BJP for many years.
There was an open debate between Sidhu and Youth Congress President Barinder Dhillon in Chandigarh.
Gave the example of former CM Giani Zail Singh
Sukhjinder Randhawa, who became MLA from Dera Baba Nanak, said that when Giani Zail Singh was the CM, there was discussion about such a leader. He had said that he can make the person coming from outside as MLA and minister, not the district head. Whose DNA does not belong to the Congress, he cannot be given the command of the organization.
Discord increased due to debate in Chandigarh
Discord in Congress escalated during protest against inflation in Chandigarh yesterday. During this, Sidhu said that he is honest but there are some dishonest people in Congress too. Youth Congress President Barinder Dhillon got angry on this. He asked Sidhu to name. On which the debate grew so much that the senior leaders got up and left. The Congress was to march till the Raj Bhavan but the dharna was called off there.
