Amarinder Singh To Meet Sonia Gandhi As Navjot Sidhu Barbs Continue

Chief Minister Amarinder Singh may also meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah during his visit to New Delhi.

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh is scheduled to meet Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday ahead of a much-anticipated cabinet reshuffle in the state. It also comes amid strong indications that his long-running feud with Navjot Singh Sidhu, the new head of the party's state unit, hasn't ended. In February 2018, STF headed by ADGP Harpreet Sidhu filed “status report” in Punjab & Haryana High Court, investigating statements & evidence recorded by ED that were submitted before Hon'ble Court in case of Bikramjit Singh Majithia & others involvement in Drug trafficking. 1/6 pic.twitter.com/ZRNBoiPNCk The meeting, set to take place in Delhi, is deemed significant since a cabinet reshuffle is awaited in the state even though the Chief Minister had, according to a July 31 PTI report, ruled out the possibility of an immediate revamp of his ministerial team. The more contentious point, however, could be that even weeks after he was elevated to his new post, after Captain Singh grudgingly relented, Mr Sidhu continues to aim his barbs at the state government. While both the Chief Minister and the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President have made public statements about working together as a team, the cricketer-turned-politician's actions don't hint at any of that promised camaraderie.
