The Congress's tremor was calmed before the Punjab assembly elections, but it erupted again within a few days. Aside from the election battle, the Punjab Congress is also dealing with internal conflict caused by its own leaders.
Sunil Jakhar, the former state Congress chief, has now made a comment that has sparked a new debate.
It is now completely new. When Patel Ji became (Cong) chief, everyone supported him, except Nehruji. How can you expect Jakhar Ji to be respected if Patel Ji is not respected: Lekhi of Union Minister Meenakshi Cong Sunil Jakhar claimed to have the support of 42 MLAs after Captain Amarinder Singh resigned as Punjab Chief Minister.
Not only this, Navjot Singh Sidhu leaves the election campaigns and went to Mata Vaishno Devi.
Navjot Sidhu, the President of the Punjab Congress, has made another stunning political choice. Sidhu abruptly went for Vaishno Devi on Tuesday, abandoning all promotional activities. For his promotion, ten programs were planned. The majority of the events took place in his Amritsar East assembly constituency, which Sidhu is running for.
The competition has become fierce this time, with the arrival of Akali leader Bikram Majithia. However, the Congress party has made no public statements about Sidhu's visit to Vaishno Devi. According to those close to him, this program was planned ahead of time.
Majithia accepted the challenge
Majithia accepted Navjot Sidhu's challenge to run for Amritsar East. With Majithia's seat, Akali Dal put senior leader Bikram Majithia against Sidhu a few days ago. Sidhu then stated that if Majithia has the courage, he should fight solely from Amritsar East.
Accepting the challenge, Majithia resigned from the Majitha seat and said that he will only run from Amritsar East. Majithia's wife, Guneev Kaur, is now fighting for Majitha.
Difficulty even for CM face
Navjot Sidhu's task is to not only save the seat but also to win the contest for the CM face. In Punjab, Congress is inspecting the CM's face. Charanjit Channi and Navjot Sidhu are the key competitors. Sidhu is also said to be behind schedule. Only 6 MLAs endorse Sidhu for CM, according to former Punjab Congress head Sunil Jakhar, who made the announcement just yesterday. Sidhu's troubles have risen as a result of this predicament.
