New Delhi: Cricketer-rocky Navjot Singh Sidhu on Friday met CM Captain Amarinder Singh before taking over as president of the Punjab Congress.
Amarinder also attended the Sidhu elevation ceremony.
Sidhu and Amarinder Singh have been in Loggerheads for the past few times.
The minister’s chairman has opposed the appointment of Sidhu as the Head of the State Congress and said he would not meet him until the cricket-turned politicians apologized for the “degrading” tweet against him.
However, Amarinder Singh on Thursday agreed to attend the Sidhu installation ceremony.
The party in the party feels that regardless of its appetite, it will be too early to consider disbursement in the tense Amarinder relationship with Sidhu.
On Thursday, two of the four presidents of PCC work, Kuljit Singh Nagra and very Singh Gilzian, reached the CM student farm and submitted two invitation letters – one signed by 57-strange MLA and other personal invitations from Sidhu to Amarinder.
Sidhu wrote to CM that he had “no personal agenda” and as “the family of the oldest Punjab Congress”, CM must come and bless the new PPCC team.
“My determination and commitment about the punjab problem and fulfill the 18-point high command pro-people agenda for the welfare of each Punjabi famous for you and all,” he wrote.
Sidhu replaced the president Sunil Jakhar who came out, a prominent Hindu face in the helmet for more than four years.
