Punjab leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, who has been engaged in a war of words with Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, is likely to be appointed the chief of the Congress’ state unit, according to the sources. As the party makes all possible efforts to quell the infighting that has endangered its campaign for next year’s assembly election.
Party sources had earlier revealed that Sidhu was not keen to accept anything less than the post of Punjab Congress president or deputy chief minister. This also seemed to play out recently when Sidhu praised the Aam Aadmi Party in what was seen as an attempt to cozy up to the Arvind Kejriwal-led outfit.
Congress leaders in Punjab are of the opinion that making Sidhu the Punjab Congress chief will only result in more infighting when both Amarinder and Sidhu would want their favorites to contest elections.
