Trouble in Punjab unit marks Sonia Gandhi’s one year as interim Congress chief

Live Mint  

New Delhi: Trouble mounts for Congress-ruled government in Punjab as a section of party leaders have joined hands with National Democratic Alliance members in the state to criticize the Amarinder Singh-led government. Whether it is about taking disciplinary action or constant interaction with the high command, the intervention required in a state like Punjab is taking an immediate call without letting the issue further,” a senior party leader from the state unit said requesting anonymity. The troubles for party’s incumbent Punjab unit comes close on the heels of a political crisis in Rajasthan where the Ashok Gehlot government is likely to face a floor test on 14 August. While the state unit has written to Gandhi demanding removal of both Bajwa and Dullo, the two leaders have demanded that Singh and state unit chief Sunil Jakhar should be removed from the post.
