Navjot Sindhu is meeting Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in Delhi, a day after a dramatic escalation in the party’s Punjab crisis with a slurry of late night meetings between rival factions as a peace formula appeared to be a non-starter.
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh is believed to be resistant to the Congress leadership’s plan to elevate his rival Navjot Sindhu as state Congress chief, replacing Sunil Jakhar.
On Thursday, tensions peaked after reports started circulating of Mr Sindhu’s promotion and a shake-up in the Punjab cabinet.
Mr. sindhu held a meeting with six MLAs, including three cabinet ministers and according to the compromise plan, Mr sindu is to take over as Punjab Congress chief with two working presidents, “one from dalit community and other as hindyu face”, sources say.
