A day after the appointment of Amritsar East MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu as Punjab Congress president against the opposition of Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, Singh’s wife Preneet Kaur, party’s Patiala MP, was seen in the Lok Sabha on Monday engaged in an animated discussion with Rahul Gandhi.
The gallery view revealed the two conversing for over seven minutes while Lok Sabha Speaker was making obituary references.
CM Amarinder Singh has not welcomed the appointment of Sidhu as state chief yet and has called MPs and MLAs for lunch on Wednesday.
Preneet Kaur’s conversation with Rahul today came a day after she attended the meeting of nine Punjab MPs at former state chief Partap Singh Bajwa’s house yesterday where concerns were expressed about Sidhu’s elevation.
The CM has demanded a public if apology from Sidhu for his “150 personal derogatory tweets” to meet him.
Sidhu has been meeting state leaders all day since his appointment was announced late last night.
