 Amid the factional feud in Punjab Congress, Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Saturday met AICC general secretary and the state in-charge Harish Rawat and said any decision taken by the party president will be acceptable to all.
Rawat flew down to Chandigarh as tensions escalate in the Congress바카라™ Punjab unit over differences between Amarinder and Navjot Singh Sidhu.
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 minister바카라™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 on Friday. He is learnt to have said that giving the post of state party chief to Sidhu, a Jat Sikh, would upset the party's senior leaders representing the Hindu community and harm the party's prospects in the 2022 assembly elections.
