Sidhu has been critical of CM Amrinder Singh and accused the chief minister of colluding with the Badals of the Shiromani Akali Dal, the Congress’s arch-rival in Punjab. Congress chief Sonia Gandhi formed a three-member committee to resolve the rift. In its report on June 10, the panel suggested that Sidhu be suitably accommodated in the state unit.
