Deviations In Congress With Internal Scuffle

Ever since Navjot Singh Sidhu has taken over PPCC, Congress has faced a dilemma about the appointment of a new Chief Minister. Amarinder has stated that he has given his resignation from the party because of the humiliation and discontent he had faced in the Punjab Congress. He had submitted his resignation letter to the Governor of Punjab, Banwarilal Purohit. The entire chain of events has been a surprise to the nation as Congress seems like a unified party from its exterior appearance.
