PUNJAB CONGRESS CRISIS:
~Punjab Congress MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu on Wednesday reached party leader Rahul Gandhi’s residence in New Delhi hours after meeting Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
~According to top sources, no meeting of Mr. Sidhu and Rahul Gandhi was scheduled earlier. It was Priyanka Gandhi who took the initiative and convinced Rahul Gandhi to meet Sidhu.
~This comes amid reports of infighting in the Punjab Congress with Sidhu locking horns with Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh in the past few weeks.
~Sidhu has attacked the chief minister over the alleged delay in justice in the 2015 incidents of sacrilege and subsequent police firing.
~Sidhu was scheduled to meet both Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi in Delhi on Tuesday. Rahul Gandhi had, however, said there was no meeting between him and the Punjab MLA.
~Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi are trying to bring all Congress leaders, including Sidhu, on a common platform and present a united Congress ahead of elections.
