Amarinder Singh to remain Punjab CM, Navjot Singh Sidhu likely to become state Congress chief

After months of deliberations and discussions, Congress General Secretary in-charge of Punjab, Harish Rawat, on Thursday said that Navjot Singh Sidhu would likely be announced as the Punjab Congress chief while Amarinder Singh would remain as the state's chief minister. Rawat made this announcement a day after his meeting with Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi amid troubles in the party following a rift between Singh and Sidhu. The party took this decision months ahead of Punjab Assembly elections.
