No End to Punjab Potboiler Ex State Cong Chief Sunil Jakhar Says Party Has Forgotten Him
Hitting out at the Congress high command’s decision to appoint Sidhu as the Punjab Congress president, Jakhar said the party forgot the person who was trying to iron out differences between Captain and Sidhu.Jakhars open grievance comes after Amarinder and Sidhu apparently buried their hatchet after a long drawn cold war, even as the CM question was left hanging by the party high command. The Congress infighting also comes when Punjab is due for assembly elections early next year.Speaking at Sidhus elevation ceremony in Chandigarh on Friday Jakhar said The whole of Punjab came out in protest against the farm laws. At the time if there had been any other chief minister other than Captain Amarinder Singh then the protests being held against BJP today would have been against us Punjab govt and Congress.He also said that Congress revival goes through Punjab and the state units return to power goes through Kotkapura and Behbal Kalan.Jakhar was referring to the incidents when two youths were killed in police firing at Behbal Kalan on October 14 2015 while protesting against desecration of Guru Granth Sahib at Bargari on October 12.
