Amidst tension within Punjab Congress, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh has said any decision taken by the Congress president will be acceptable to all.
His statement comes after meeting All India Congress Committee general secretary and Punjab in-charge Harish Rawat. Rawat flew down to Chandigarh as tensions escalate in the Congress’ Punjab unit over differences between Amarinder and Navjot Singh Sidhu.
”Had a fruitful meeting with Harish Rawat. Reiterated that any decision of INC president will be acceptable to all. Raised certain issues which he said he’ll take up with the INC president,” Raveen Thukral, Media Advisor to Punjab CM Capt Amarinder Singh quotes the CM.
There is intense speculation that the cricketer-turned politician may be appointed state Congress chief. Rawat reached Chandigarh in a chopper around 12 noon and went straight to the chief minister’s farm house in Mohali.
The visit is being seen as an effort to placate Amarinder, who wrote a letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi .
