The Congress backed Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh a day after a section of party leaders renewed their rebellion against his leadership. Senior party leader Harish Rawat said Mr Singh will lead the party in the coming state elections. "We will contest 2022 Punjab elections under the leadership of Captain Amarinder Singh," said Rawat, who is the party in-charge in the state.
The demand for Singh's removal from the post of the Punjab Chief Minister resurfaced after he targeted the advisors of state Congress chief Navjot Sidhu over their comments on Pakistan and Kashmir. Some party MLAs, including four ministers Tuesday, held a meeting and said they will write to the Central leadership on the issue. The four cabinet ministers -- Bajwa, Sukhbinder Singh Sarkaria, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa and Charanjit Singh Channi -- met Rawat in Dehradun. After the meeting with Rawat, they were expected to go to Delhi to meet Sonia Gandhi.
