Distance between Sidhu and CM Channi increased: Navjot wanted to hold hands; The Chief Minister himself began to move forward; did not attend each other’s performances

After the removal of Captain Amarinder Singh from the chair of CM, a new discord has started in the Punjab Congress. The distance between Navjot Sidhu and CM Charanjit Channi is increasing continuously. The big reason for this is that Sidhu wanted to run the Chief Minister by holding hands. On the contrary, the Chief Minister himself started moving forward. Sidhu is left behind. The latest example of distance is the demonstration in Chandigarh against the Lakhimpur Kheri violence. The Punjab Congress could not show solidarity even during the protest against the BJP government. When Sidhu reached Raj Bhavan in the first demonstration, CM Channi did not come. At that time the CM was present in Chandigarh only. The next day when Channi Gandhi Bhawan sat on dharna, Sidhu did not come there. Sidhu was in Chandigarh at that time.

Punjab Congress reached where it started

Discord in the Punjab Congress started when Sidhu became the head. The Congress high command felt that this discord would be pacified by removing Captain Amarinder Singh. There will be a synergy between the Punjab Pradhan and the government. When Channi became the CM, it felt like this for the first two days. However, now the Congress has reached there again. On the issues that Sidhu had a rift with Amarinder, the same quarrel is now with Channi. Sidhu may talk about the issues, but political experts believe that Sidhu is upset over not being able to become the super-CM and not being the only face of the next elections in Punjab.

CM Channi’s attitude is telling, Sidhu’s wish will not be fulfilled

Of course, after Captain Amarinder, Sidhu is a big face of Punjab Congress. Although the Congress government will follow the path shown by him, it will not happen. CM Charanjit Channi has said that if Sidhu wants, he should speak in the party forum. Raise the issue in the Coordination Committee. It is clear that the government will run in its own way. The CM has already said that he should see the work of the party. The government will do its job.

While handing over the appointment letter to the new chairman of Amritsar Improvement Trust, Damandeep Uppal, this is the picture from where the tussle between Sidhu and the CM escalated.

The mistake that Amarinder did, Sidhu also did the same.

Of course, Navjot Sidhu should be considered a big reason for leaving Captain Amarinder Singh from the CM chair, but there is another big reason behind it. Three Majha ministers Sukhjinder Randhawa, Tript Rajinder Bajwa and Sukh Sarkaria threw everything to bring Amarinder to power in 2017. Captain was CM for four and a half years, but in the last days, he kept on increasing the distance from him. Sidhu has also made the same mistake now. Sidhu’s distance from Deputy CM Randhawa has increased. Sidhu did not come even while taking over the chair of his deputy CM. The remaining two ministers are also with CM Channi. In such a situation, if Sidhu does not bow down, then his departure is certain.
