"Sycophancy" At Congress Post-Mortem Meet: Punjab Party Veteran

The Congress lost Punjab to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in polls last week.

In the blame-game following the Congress's shock defeat in Punjab, a party leader today hit out at what he called "sycophancy" on display at the party's post-mortem on Sunday.

The Congress lost Punjab to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in polls last week.

Sunil Jakhar, former Punjab Congress chief, blamed the defeat on the decision to replace Amarinder Singh by Charanjit Singh Channi in September, four months before the election.

"An asset - are you joking? Thank God he (Channi) wasn't declared a 'National treasure' at the CWC by the 'Pbi' lady who proposed him as CM in first place," Mr Jakhar tweeted.
