"Criteria Is Merit": Navjot Sidhu On Selecting Candidates For Punjab Polls
NDTV
Punjab: Navjot Singh Sidhu told reporters that a list of district Congress committee presidents will also be released soon and asserted that the party was united.
Winnability will be the only criteria for the selection of candidates for the Punjab Assembly polls and being an MLA does not guarantee candidature, said Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Tuesday as he resumed the charge at the party's state office in Chandigarh.
Mr Sidhu had earlier put a precondition that he would resume the charge the day a new advocate general was appointed and a panel for the appointment of a new director general of police came from the UPSC.
Mr Sidhu had earlier resigned as the Punjab Congress chief, objecting to the appointments. The Punjab government had earlier this month accepted the resignation of Advocate General A P S Deol.
Mr Sidhu was accompanied by AICC general secretary Harish Chaudhary and Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
