NDTV
Harish Rawat, the Congress's Punjab in-charge, also told NDTV today that Navjot Sidhu "is the Punjab Congress chief", shutting down talk about the sulking cricketer-turned-politician's resignation last month.
A new Chief Minister of Punjab will be decided after the state election, the Congress said today, attempting to stave off a brewing Navjot Singh Sidhu versus Charanjit Singh Channi clash at least till early next year.
Harish Rawat, the Congress's Punjab in-charge, also told NDTV today that Navjot Sidhu "is the Punjab Congress chief", shutting down talk about the sulking cricketer-turned-politician's resignation last month, just four months before the party seeks re-election in assembly polls.
"Both will be working together, winning the election and then Congress president will decide on the Chief Minister," Mr Rawat said, responding to reports of tension between Mr Sidhu and the man who replaced his long-time rival Amarinder Singh as Chief Minister.
Mr Sidhu has been upset about Mr Channi's choice of Attorney General, police chief and ministers.
