Amarinder Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu have been at loggerheads over various issues. (File Photo)IN A SURPRISE move at the end of a day where the Amarinder Singh camp got all the Congress Lok Sabha MPs from Punjab and several MLAs to plead his case, the high command Sunday night announced Navjot Singh Sidhu as the new PCC chief. Amarinder was also ignored on the choice for working presidents. He had reportedly suggested four names for working presidents and PCC chief — Cabinet minister Vijay Inder Singla, Raj Kumar Chabbewal, Tarsem D C and Ajit Inder Singh Mofar. After Sidhu’s appointment, Jakhar said the Congress president had entrusted him with a great responsibility with six months to go for Assembly elections.
