Chandigarh, October 1
Having played a key role as the point person between Rahul Gandhi and Punjab Congress leaders during recent developments in the state, Rajasthan minister Harish Chaudhary is tipped to replace Harish Rawat as the party’s state affairs incharge.
Rawat is expected to be in Chandigarh by Sunday to give a practical shape to the working arrangement finalised between CM Charanjit Singh Channi and PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu. Chaudhary had played a crucial role in the elevation of Channi as the CM, after Capt Amarinder Singh was ousted. A former AICC secretary during the 2017 Assembly election, Chaudhary has also been in the forefront of brokering peace between Channi and Sidhu over the past few days.
A trusted lieutenant of Rahul Gandhi, Chaudhary is expected to play a crucial role in coordination between the CM and the PCC president in the run-up to the Assembly election. — TNS
