Ludhiana : Cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Sidhu takes charge as Punjab Pradesh Congress Chief. Also inducted to their posts today were four Working Presidents Sangathi Singh Gilsiyan, Sukhinder Danny, Pavan Goyal and Kuljith Singh Nagra.
Chief Minister Amarinder Singh took part in the ceremony reportedly after persuasive talks from the High Command.
High Command’s appointment of Sidhu as the PPCC chief is meant to mellow problems in state Congress with view to Assembly elections due next year. I congratulate Sidhu for his new post as PCC chief, said Amarinder Singh at the event.
