Congress High Command Moves to Contain Punjab Row After Navjot Kaur Sidhu’s ₹500-Crore CM Remark

Party sources say Rahul Gandhi has convened a review, with a Baghel-led panel to examine the dispute.

Overview

  • Navjot Kaur Sidhu remains suspended from the Congress and has publicly reaffirmed loyalty, vowing to deliver Punjab to the Gandhi family.
  • She intensified attacks on Punjab unit chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, alleging corruption, claiming broad internal support, and meeting supporters in Amritsar.
  • Gurdaspur MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has served a legal notice demanding an apology over alleged defamatory claims, with Anil Joshi and Karanbir Burj also issuing notices.
  • Kaur has countered with a legal notice to Amritsar Congress leader Sourabh ‘Mithu’ Madaan, whom she accuses of corruption and of tarnishing her and her husband.
  • Raja Warring met AICC Punjab in-charge Bhupesh Baghel in Delhi as the leadership stresses discipline, while the BJP has sought a Vigilance Bureau probe and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann mocked the affair as a ‘tender’ for posts.
