Senior Congress leader and former I& B Minister Manish Tewari has once again took a dig at his own party . Taking to twitter, the Lok Sabha MP from Anandpur Sahib, Tewari said he was invited by AAP CM designate Bhagwant Mann to attend his swearing-in ceremony but was not invited to Charanjit Singh Channi’s swearing in .
‘I congratulate Bhagwant Mann on being sworn in as Chief Minister. I thank him for inviting me to his swearing in. Due to Parliament being in session I will not be able to make it,’ he said on Twitter.
It is ironic I was not invited to Charanjit Singh Channi’s swearing in though he was one of my MLA’s (sic),’ his tweet further read.

Channi was sworn in last year after the Congress leadership sacked Amarinder Singh as the chief minister.
Tewari had been vocal about the Congress party’s handling by then PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu during the run- up to the polls . And expressed his dismay the way Capt Amarinder Singh was replaced by Channi as Chief Minister.
