Navjot Singh Sidhu, the party’s Punjab chairman, withdrew from his role today, just after Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi removed the party’s executives in the five states where the party faced devastating defeats. The resignations were requested to “ease the reorganization” of the state Congress units, said Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala.

“In order to assist PCC reorganization, Congress President Smt. Sonia Gandhi has invited the PCC Presidents of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa, and Manipur to submit their resignations,” he stated. Mr. Sidhu drew criticism for hailing the voters of Punjab for taking a “great” decision to bring in progress by electing the Aam Aadmi Party to power” in his first media appearance after the party’s defeat.

Kanhaiya Kumar’s entrance into the Congress was insulted today by Bihar’s biggest opposition party, the RJD, which said that the former JNU student is “another Navjot Singh Sidhu” who will “destroy” the grand old party. Senior RJD leader Shivanand Tiwari mocked the Congress, calling it a sinking ship, and claiming that Mr. Kumar’s joining would make little difference to the party.

Referring to the CPI turncoat’s statement that “Congress is a big ship that needs to be saved”, Mr. Tiwari said, “He is just like another Navjot Singh Sidhu who will further destroy the party.”

The continuing issue in Punjab was exacerbated today by Navjot Singh Sidhu’s unexpected resignation as the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee’s chairman.

 

“I told you so… he is not a stable man and not fit for the border state of Punjab,” said Amarinder Singh, the former Chief Minister, shortly after. Punjab cabinet minister Razia Sultana also quit hours later “in solidarity with Navjot Sidhu”. The resignations came just months before the Punjab election.

 

In a letter to Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Mr. Sidhu stated that he intends to continue serving the party. He became the state party’s leader in July of this year.

Everything will be sorted out soon, according to Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, who said two days after Amarinder Singh resigned as chief minister after a nasty feud with him. He went on to say that Rahul Gandhi’s move in Punjab would echo across India. The new chief minister would choose the cabinet ministers, according to Sidhu.

Meanwhile, Charanjit Singh Channi, who was sworn in as Chief Minister today, pledged action against the sand mafia, a subject that Sidhu had been harping on, implying their ties to Captain.

Harish Rawat, the Congress general secretary in charge, apologized on Wednesday for his “Panj Pyare” comment and said he will clean the premises of a gurdwara as an act of penance. After a meeting at the state Congress Bhawan, he referred to Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee leader Navjot Singh Sidhu and the four working presidents as “Panj Pyare.”

The term ‘Panj Pyare’ is used in Sikh tradition to refer to the Guru’s five beloveds. Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and final Guru, initiated five men into the ‘Khalsa’ order in 1699. The name ‘Panj Pyare’ refers to a group of five baptized Sikhs who execute a baptism ritual to initiate Sikhs into the ‘Khalsa’ order.

After meeting with the chief minister, Nagra stated that he has consented to attend the event, which would be held at the Congress Bhawan in Chandigarh at 11 a.m. on Friday.

Navjot Singh Sidhu is likely to be named as the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) chief amid the ongoing crisis in the party’s state unit. He is set to replace incumbent Sunil Jakhar.

The party high command has been working on naming Sidhu as the PPCC chief despite Chief Minister Amarinder Singh digging in his heels earlier and stating that he was against Sidhu to be elevated to the post of PPCC chief by ignoring several rightful leaders.

The party high command has, however, consulted Sidhu on choosing his team also. He was made a part of several virtual meetings while the District Congress Committee presidents were being discussed. The party is likely to declare the entire team of PCC shortly.

Congress’ Punjab in-charge Harish Rawat had earlier told  that CM Amarinder will continue in his office.

The party has been trying to quell the dissension in the party by holding several meetings and constituting a panel to listen to the grievances of the state congress leaders.

“Our main opponent, the AAP, has always respected my agenda and efforts for Punjab.

It is evident who is truly working for Punjab,” Sidhu stated in a tweet.

Together with the tweet, Sidhu included a video of AAP politician Sanjay Singh thanking the Congress leader and his wife for speaking out against concerns in the region such as the narcotics mafia and “corruption” during the former SAD-BJP administration.

Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Tuesday said the opposition Aam Aadmi Party has always recognised his work in the state and knows who is fighting for the state.

Our opposition AAP has always recognised my vision & work for Punjab. Be it Before 2017- Beadbi, Drugs, Farmers Issues, Corruption & Power Crisis faced by People of Punjab raised by me or today as I present “Punjab Model” It is clear they know – who is really fighting for Punjab,” he said in a tweet.

If the Opposition dares to question me, yet they can’t escape my Pro-People Agenda … This means they have resigned to their fate,” he added in another tweet.

“Today as I present the ‘Punjab Model’ It is clear they know, who is really fighting for Punjab, Congress MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu added,” he said.

Sidhu’s tweet was in response to a video clip that showed AAP leader Sanjay Singh praising Sidhu and appreciating how he and his wife always raised their voice against the drug menace in Punjab, farmer issues and the ‘corruption by the Badals’.
