Amarinder Singh In Delhi To Meet Congress Envoys Again Amid Infighting

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh is in Delhi for a second time today to meet a central Congress team amid the ongoing infighting in the party's state unit. Earlier this month, the Chief Minister had met a three-member panel constituted by party chief Sonia Gandhi to resolve the factionalism that has set off a crisis ahead of next year's assembly elections. A section of leaders have objected to Mr Singh's leadership, citing the government's inaction in sacrilege cases, under-representation of Dalits in the government and the inaccessibility of the Chief Minister due to his coterie. The MLAs worried that since most of the party's promises made before the last elections have not been delivered, they might have to face the wrath of the rural voters.
