Punjab CM meets Sonia over in-fighting in State unit
Punjab Chief Minister Capt. (retd) Amarinder Singh on Tuesday said he would accept any decision taken by Congress president Sonia Gandhi with regard to changes in the party in Punjab and the State government. He was speaking after meeting Ms. Gandhi in a effort to end the factionalism in the State unit. The meeting that lasted for about 90 minutes, comes after a month long exercise to put an end to the public war of words between the Chief Minister and cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu. Mr Sidhu had resigned from Capt. Amarinder’s cabinet over several differences including handling of the 2015 sacrilege issue. Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, who headed the three-member panel of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) to resolve the factionalism in Punjab, was present at the meeting that is said to have discussed the political situation as well as governance issues in the State.
