Navjot Singh Sidhu resigned as Punjab Congress chief, which gave a big shock to yhe Gandhis.
Navjot Sidhu wrote in a resignation letter to Sonia Gandhi, which he posted on social media – “The collapse of a man’s character stems from the compromise corner. I can never compromise on Punjab’s future and the agenda for the welfare of Punjab. Therefore, I hereby resign as the President of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee. I will continue to serve the Congress.”
Amarinder Singh, who was replaced as Chief Minister tweeted “I told you so…he is not a stable man and not fit for the border state of Punjab.”
According to the reports, the resignation, four months before the Punjab election, is seen as a huge blow to the Gandhis, who were warned against appointing Mr Sidhu as Punjab Congress chief. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had pushed strongly for Mr Sidhu and had even arranged his meeting with Rahul Gandhi when the Congress was trying to decide on Amarinder Singh.
The report further added that Sidhu was upset about the cabinet changes made by new Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, who was seen to be close to him.
