Speculation is rife as no meeting took place between the Punjab Congress chief and the Gandhis
In a sign of growing distance between the newly appointed Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu and the party’s top leadership, Mr. Sidhu is said to have returned from Delhi without getting an appointment with the Gandhis. The Punjab Congress chief had come to Delhi on Wednesday while the All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary for Punjab, Harish Rawat, was still in Chandigarh to interact with party leaders, including Chief Minister Amarinder Singh. There was no official word about the purpose of his Delhi visit but sources claimed Mr. Sidhu wanted to meet general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, whose support ensured him the top party post in Punjab, and former party chief, Rahul Gandhi.More Related News
