Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi was again called to Delhi by the Congress high command to discuss the expansion of the state Cabinet, just hours after he returned from the national capital, according to sources.
Mr Channi has left for the national capital from Chandigarh, they said.
It is the chief minister's third visit to Delhi in the past a few days. Mr Channi had gone to Delhi on Thursday evening where he discussed the formation of his cabinet with Rahul Gandhi. He had also held discussions with All-India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Harish Rawat. After the meeting, Mr Channi returned early Friday morning.
Meanwhile, former Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar is learnt to have met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. There is now speculation that Mr Jakhar, who narrowly missed out on succeeding Amarinder Singh as chief minister, may be rehabilitated with some post.
