Ahmed Patel Likely To Resolve Rift Between Amarinder Singh And Navjot Singh Sidhu

New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel is likely to be entrusted with the task of resolving the rift between Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh and state Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu, party sources said here on Monday. The sources said that veteran leader Ahmed Patel is likely to be entrusted with the job in the wider interest of the party. While Amarinder Singh is the most popular leader of the Congress in Punjab, Sidhu has been a key campaigner for the party outside the state.

Sidhu, who was allocated a new portfolio last week by Amarinder Singh, met party President Rahul Gandhi here on Monday. He is yet to assume charge of the new ministry. “Met the Congress President, handed him my letter, appraised him of the situation!” Sidhu tweeted on Monday. Along with the tweet, he posted a picture in which he was seen standing alongside Gandhi and party leaders Ahmed Patel and Priyanka Gandhi. (IANS)
