ཧAmid soaring speculation over him getting appointed as the next head of party's state unit, Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Saturday had a meeting with Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) chief Sunil Jakhar.
🐟After the meeting that went for more than half-an-hour, Sidhu called Jakhar his elder brother and a guiding force. Jakhar, in turn, showed confidence on Sidhu's capability.
💯Sidhu left his residence in Patiala and reached Jakhar's residence in Panchkula about 65 km away at around 10:45 am, an aide said.
🏅The meeting comes in the backdrop of simmering tensions in the Punjab Congress following differences between Chief Minister Amarinder Singh and Sidhu.
🎃On Friday, Sidhu met party chief Sonia Gandhi at her residence in New Delhi in an apparent bid to arrive at a truce formula over the state unit revamp.
♌Also present at the meeting were AICC general secretary in-charge of Punjab Harish Rawat and Rahul Gandhi.
🥃Sources said reports of Sidhu's elevation had irked Amarinder Singh and he had written to Sonia Gandhi expressing strong resentment over the developments.
