Punjab Politics does not seem to be going smooth as their
exist conflict within the Congress. It all started with cricketer-turned-politician
Navjot Sidhu’s allegations leveled on Punjab CM Capt Amarinder Singh for being unable
to carry out an unbiased probe into the Kotkapura firing case and Behbal Kalan
Sacrilege case.
After Sidhu’s constant criticism, a section of party leaders is now singing the same rhyme as Sidhu and alleging that the state government has failed to do justice to all significant issues.
A secret meeting of the cabinet ministers with Navjot Sidhu has hinted at the ongoing political turmoil within the party.
According to the reports, Jail Minister Sukhjinder Randhawa is among one of the leaders who has now joined the hands with Sidhu in the war of words against the CM. The other rebellious leaders are Rajya Sabha member Pratap Bajwa, MP Ravneet Bittu, MLA Kushaldeep Singh Dhillon.

Reportedly on the afternoon of May 10, these leaders held a meeting with Navjot Sidhu in Chandigarh.
It may be noted here that a few days ago, Sukhjinder Randhawa had met Sidhu at his close associate and Jalandhar Cantt MLA Pargat Singh.
In an interview with the news channel, MP Bittu has also raised questions to the CM for not being able to resolve the matters fairly. He has even said that CM Captain Amarinder Singh must drop the ‘home ministry’ as he could not bring justice in the Kotkapura Firing case.
Bittu further added that CM must look out for other deserving candidates who can handle the ‘home’ portfolio diligently to serve justice in various pending cases.
