Navjot Singh Sidhu likely to continue as the Punjab Congress Chief. The announcement is likely to be made tomorrow by the Congress high command.

New Delhi: Punjab Congress Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu held a meeting with party General Secretary Incharge KC Venugopal and state in-charge Harish Rawat, on Thursday, amid the ongoing turmoil within the state unit.

The meeting comes weeks after Sidhu tendered his resignation from the post of Punjab Congress Chief due to the uncomfortable truce between him and the Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
