He’s inaccessible, claims district chief
Gurdaspur: District Congress committee chief Roshen Joseph has complained to the Congress leadership accusing PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu of being “inaccessible” and that it may prove to be “detrimental” to the overall prospects of the party in the upcoming elections. Joseph said he met AICC general secretary KC Venugopal on December 6, and on December 9, he called up AICC Punjab Congress in-charge Harish Chaudhary in this regard. TNS
Sidhu has been a start campaigner for the party but his absence raises several questions. He has already stated he is not a showpiece to be used to come to power and will rather stand for the betterment of Punjab.
The delay in declaring the list of PCC office-bearers and district presidents by the party high command is also an indication in this regard.
Sidhu has stated he has already given his list to the party leadership and it is for it to announce the same. Sources say after objections from certain MLAs and ministers, some changes in the PCC list are being made. It is being seen that the Punjab affairs incharge Harish Chaudhary is giving more importance to the CM in the preparations ahead of the elections.
