Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Tuesday met the three-member Congress panel in Delhi amid the escalating tension in the state unit to draw a conclusion to end the political rift.

CM’s meeting with Mallikarjun Kharge led panel lasted for 3 long hours in which the political situation of the state and the issues related to cricketer-turned-politician, Navjot Singh Sidhu was discussed extensively.

Although Sidhu has opened a floodgate of attacks at Captain over the desecration case of Sikh religious textbook Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Kotakapura Firing Case, illicit mining case, and other unfulfilled promises of the Capt government, the reason behind it is different.

It is the way of the world when a person plans to bring a transformation; he considers his vision to be supreme. Though Sidhu in his exclusive interview to a private news channel has cleared, he is not willing to join the party to acquire a special designation.

However, the AICC panel and CM Capt mulls at giving him (Sidhu) the position of State Unit President to accommodate him in the party prior to Punjab Assembly Elections 2022.

Earlier Punjab CM has also shown his willingness to hail back his former colleague in the party as the state unit president face rather Deputy CM face perhaps, now the scenario is upside down.

According to the sources, in a meeting with the high-powered panel, Capt Amarinder Singh has expressed his dissent to work with Sidhu for the remaining ruling term of eight months ahead of Assembly Elections 2022.

The rationale behind it could be considered as Navjot Sidhu’s latest interview with a news channel where he lashed out two significant families of Punjab who have eaten up the state’s treasury like a termite. Though his words were indirect, it was targeted as Punjab CM’s family as well.

And this has likely made Capt Amarinder Singh give a second thought to his decision of being willing to work with Sidhu.

“Not comfortable as a CM to work with Sidhu as a State Unit President” cleared Capt to the Congress panel in a meeting on Tuesday.

Formulating strategies to win the State Assembly Elections, the high-powered plan has suggested Punjab CM fulfill the promises of exposing and eradicating drug mafia, illicit mining, and exposing culprits of the Guru Granth Sahib Sacrilege case.

It has been also learnt from the sources that after wrapping up the meeting with the AICC panel, CM Capt is likely to meet with eminent Congress leader Ambika Soni, who has been inactive in the state politics from the past four years. She is considered close to Sonia Gandhi and CM Capt could seek her help to convince the party chief to do not ignore the old state party leaders in order to resolve conflict.

As CM Capt Amarinder Singh is going to stay put in New Delhi for tonight, speculations are there that he could arrange a meeting with Rahul Gandhi as well.

Furthermore, sources have suggested that Punjab CM has informed the Congress panel to do not hold such frequent meetings with him to resolve the party infighting as elections are just eight months away and his governance is getting affected by this.

However, now the entire decision of accommodating Sidhu, giving him a supreme designation or keeping him aside from the party lies with the Congress High Command- Sonia Gandhi, who is expected to make a final call to narrow a wedge within the party leaders in this week.
