Rahul Gandhi and Punjab Congress Chairman Navjot Singh Sidhu.
The chief of the Punjab Congress, Navjot Singh Sidhu, defended Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Monday. A former Congress President Rahul Gandhi is abroad. He raised some eyebrows as he was due to speak at an election rally in Moga, Punjab on January 3rd.
They speak exclusively to India Today Chairman of the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) hit those who raised questions about the trip. He said, “This is nonsense that he should come here. People are on vacation. We in Punjab never gave him an appointment (for election campaigns).”
Speaking further, he said: “Why should Rahul or Priyanka be criticized. Under her leadership, the state won 78 seats and formed the government in Punjab. There are eight MPs in the state. If he wants to come to the state, he can come at any time, but there was no such plan, so why the criticism. “
He said that while Congress President Sonia Gandhi had the opportunity to do so, she never assumed control or power in the government. The Gandhis come from a respected family and one day you see “Rahul is going to change this country,” said Sidhu.
Rahul Gandhi is expected to return to the country to fight in the key state of Punjab, where much is at stake for the Congress party. While the Rahul Gandhi rally has not yet been announced, the prime minister is kicking off the campaign in Punjab with his mega-rally on January 5th.
Despite a change of guard triggered by the departure of Captain Amarinder Singh, the Congress in Punjab is crossed by several factions. Navjot Singh Sidhu told India Today that there are no differences between party leaders. Reports are disproportionate, he claimed.
Interestingly, that statement came on the day the Punjab Deputy CM and State Interior Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa said he would lay the Interior Ministry “at Sidhu’s feet” if Sidhu so wished.
