FM Manpreet greets Sidhu, his deputies

Having remained silent on the tussle between Capt Amarinder Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu over the past few months, state Finance Minister and Congress leader Manpreet Badal today tweeted and congratulated the Amritsar MLA for his appointment as the PCC president. He also congratulated the newly appointed four working presidents.

Congress leaders and workers also distributed sweets at his office here to celebrate Sidhu’s elevation. Hoardings of Congress leaders congratulating Sidhu have already come up in the city.

During the 2019 Lok Sabha election campaign, it was in Bathinda that Sidhu first took pot-shots at Captain Amarinder with his “75-25” jibe, bringing their rivalry to the fore. Various groups within the party, that had been feeling ignored and sidelined earlier, have heaved a sigh of relief with the announcement of the new president and now hope they would be adjusted in the impending revamp of the PCC.
