Senior Congress leader and former PCC chief Of Punjab Sunil Jakhar in his tweet has expressed his displeasure over the party’s inept handling of Punjab during the assembly and the subsequent rout.

“The idea of my tweet is not to accuse anyone of anything. Disappointing to see the kind of sycophancy played out at the Congress Working Committee yesterday. Report suggests certain leaders who have been Rajya Sabha MPs for 30 years, claim to be Punjab’s voice in the CWC are hoodwinking the party high command.

“This recommendation for CM’s post was done by these very people. Instead of acknowledging it, there’re trying to blame Rahul Gandhi.

“People of Punjab wanted change, but the person who was projected was caught with his hand in the til. Remedy was worse than disease

“Congress workers want someone whom they can believe in. A Punjabi leader sitting in CWC is trying to project him as a national treasure. He may be a treasure for her but not for Congress. The next 5 years will be challenging for Punjab and the party.”

Jhakhar was responding to a report on former Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi’s nephew being held by the Enforcement Directorate.

“An asset – r u joking ?
Thank God he wasnt declared a National Treasure’ at CWC by the ‘Pbi’ lady who proposed him as CM in first place.
May be an asset for her but for the party he has been only a liability. Not the top brass, but his own greed pulled him and the party down.”

Jakhar congratulated AAP For its record win in Punjab in a tweet
