In Delhi's sultry weather, an important meeting between Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and poll strategist Prashant Kishor has raised the political temperature. According to sources the meeting on Tuesday, lasted for nearly two hours and was also attended by Congress national general secretaries Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, KC Venugopal, and Harish Rawat. Kishor is Punjab CM Amarinder Singh's political advisor and Rawat is the party's in-charge for Punjab. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was supposed to leave for a visit to Lucknow on Tuesday which has now been postponed.
If sources are to be believed they reportedly discussed the Punjab crisis and the national political scenario. It is said that the Congress leaders want to get rid of the political tension between the two leaders- CM Capt Amrinder Singh and former minister Navjot Singh Sidhu. Captain Singh has reportedly been resistant to ideas that involve a upgrade for Sidhu in the Punjab government and party. Both the Gandhis have met with Amarinder Singh and Navjot Sidhu separately in recent weeks. It is understood that kishore has reportedly given some suggessions to defuse the Punjab crisis. Will this meeting defuse the crisis? Only time will tell.
