Reiterated that any decision of INC president will be acceptable to all. Raised certain issues which he said he’ll take up with the INC president”.
It is believed that the captain may have laid down some of his conditions before Harish Rawat and those conditions will be accepted by the party high command. It remains to be seen when Navjot Singh Sidhu will be formally announced as President.
