Amarinder, on the other hand, listed the major achievements of his government and said that the focus should be on strengthening Congress Party. “When Sonia ji told me that she wanted Navjot Singh as the new president, I came out and told the press that we would bow to the Congress president’s decision.

In an indirect reference to Badal, Sidhu said he would act soon and set up a base at Congress Bhavan on August 15 and would also like the minister to spend three hours there every day. Hitting out at the AAP, he said, “I will not go back on the 18-point agenda of the high command. The Punjab model will beat the Delhi model.”
