Mangalore Today News Network / NDTV

Amritsar, Mar 16, 2022: A day after Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi sacked the party’s chiefs in the five states where it suffered humiliating losses, the party’s Punjab chief Navjot Singh Sidhu resigned from his post today.

"As desired by the Congress President I have sent my resignation," he wrote on Twitter with a copy of his letter addressed to Sonia Gandhi.

Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala had yesterday tweeted that the resignations were sought to "facilitate the reorganisation" of the state Congress units.

 


"Congress President, Smt. Sonia Gandhi has asked the PCC Presidents of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa & Manipur to put in their resignations in order to facilitate reorganisation of PCC’s," he said.

 


Mr Sidhu, in his first interaction with the media following the party’s defeat, had drawn flak for praising the people of Punjab for making an "excellent" decision to usher change by bringing the Aam Aadmi Party to power.
