The appointment of Navjot Singh Sidhu as Punjab Congress chief despite a simmering tension between him and Chief Minister Amarinder Singh came in handy to the Opposition to raise a failed Chief Minister charge on Amarinder even as Congress sought to give an all is well message, calling for unity in the party.
While it remains to be seen how the party unit divided into camps in the state reacts to the development in the coming days, the CM has been maintaining that he will abide by any decision taken by Sonia Gandhi .
Senior party leader from the state and former Union law minister Ashwani Kumar said, the decision of the Congress High Command to appoint Sidhu as the new party chief in Punjab should now be gracefully accepted by all in the interest of party unity. This is a time to be united.
