After being appointed in-charge of Punjab Congress, former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel reached Amritsar for the first time on Friday. After paying obeisance at the Golden Temple, Bhupesh Baghel targeted Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal. He said- Kejriwal is only greedy for power. Not even a month has passed since he lost the Delhi elections and he is thinking of going to Rajya Sabha. He does politics only for himself.
On the question of changing the Congress chief, Baghel said that this should have been asked earlier. All this is a rumour. There is no truth in it. There is no need to change the chief right now. The chief is standing right next to me. Anyway, the decision to change the chief is taken by the high command.
On the question of Indians deported from America, Baghel said that what is the compulsion, why are you silent. There must have been some compulsions, no one becomes unfaithful just like that.
When Baghel was asked about Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu not being active in politics, he kept quiet and left after saying thank you.
Bhupesh Baghel participated in the road show
After better performance in the by-elections and municipal elections, Congress is hoping to make a comeback in 2027. This visit of Bhupesh Baghel is being seen as a preparation for the 2027 assembly elections. On reaching Amritsar, all the senior leaders of Punjab welcomed him. A road show was also taken out. Congress workers welcomed him at various places.
Tomorrow, on Saturday, he will go to Chandigarh. Here he will hold a meeting with senior leaders at the State Congress Office of Punjab. After this, he will leave for Delhi at 7.30 pm.
Sidhu away from politics after coming out of jail
After being released from jail in the road rage case, Navjot Singh Sidhu had distanced himself from politics. During the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress included his name in the list of star campaigners, but he did not go to campaign for any candidate.
In November 2024, Navjot Singh Sidhu’s wife Dr. Navjot Kaur met BJP leader Taranjit Singh Sandhu at his residence in Amritsar. During this, Sidhu’s daughter Rabia was also with him. This meeting gave rise to many discussions in political circles.
Taranjit Singh Sandhu uploaded it on his social media account. He wrote, ‘It was a pleasant experience to meet Dr. Navjot at Samudra House and discuss issues related to Amritsar.’
