The top parliamentary leaders are dissatisfied with Navjot Singh Sidhu, who resigned as the chairman of the Parliament of Punjab on Tuesday. According to sources, the resignation has not been accepted, and the top leadership has not yet talked to him. The source said that the party wants to give Sidhu time, but if he disagrees, it can take strict measures. Sidu’s resignation as secretary of the state party committee aggravated the crisis in the Punjab parliament and triggered discussions and deliberations within the party. In a letter of resignation to the party’s interim president Sonia Gandhi, Sidu said: “The breakdown of a person’s character stems from a corner of compromise. I can never compromise on Punjab’s future and Punjab’s welfare agenda. Therefore, I am here. Resign as chairman. Chairman of the Punjab State Congress Committee. Will continue to serve the Congress.”
According to reports, Sidhu is disturbed by the establishment of the bureaucracy and the failure to comply with his orders after the expansion of the Cabinet in Punjab. On July 23, Sidu was appointed Chairman of the Punjab State Congress Committee (PPCC) after months of turbulence in the state legislative department. After Sidhu resigned, there was a series of resignations. A minister and three congressional leaders believed to be close to him resigned from their positions. This is a huge blow to the Congressional High Command, which hopes to resolve the turmoil in the Punjab parliamentary sector before the parliamentary elections early next year. After the quarrel in the Punjab parliament between Sidhu and Captain Amarinder Singh escalated in August, the party appointed Sidhu as the chairman of the parliament, which was clearly against the wishes of the chief minister.
