Amarinder Singh Takes Chopper To Delhi To Meet Sonia Gandhi

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh took a chopper to Delhi this morning to meet Congress chief Sonia Gandhi amid infighting within the party's state unit, ahead of the state elections due next year. His meeting with the Congress chief comes just days after Navjot Singh Sidhu, his biggest rival and critic, met Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi in Delhi. In his tweets this morning, Mr Sidhu yet again raised the issue of Punjab's power crisis. Faulty power purchase agreements (PPAs) "have cost people of Punjab thousands of crores", he stressed.
