Rahul Gandhi to meet party MLAs from Punjab today in Delhi

June 25, 2021 08:31

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will meet party MLAs from Punjab at his residence in Delhi on Friday.

Earlier this week, on Wednesday, Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Sunil Jakhar and Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal met Rahul Gandhi in Delhi.

Amid a series of meetings to end the factionalism in Punjab Congress, state party president Sunil Jakhar on Wednesday said that the current situation shall be resolved soon. Days after the Congress-led government in Punjab gave government jobs to the sons of two sitting legislators, Jakhar said some wrong people are advising the Chief Minister which led to this decision.

"I hope the current situation will be solved soon. Some wrong people are advising Chief Minister over this decision (on giving jobs to sons of two Congress MLAs)," Jakhar had told reporters after meeting Rahul Gandhi.

Responding to a question on the ongoing dispute between Congress MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu and Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, Jakhar had said, "It's part of the consultation now."
