Amarinder, Sidhu smoke peace over tea

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh and the newly appointed state Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu met today at Punjab Bhawan over a cup of tea. Their meeting, coming after months of a confrontation between the two, may mark the end of the political crisis in the state party unit.

“The Punjab crisis has been resolved, you can see,” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said moments after they met.

Singh arrived at Punjab Bhawan a few minutes after Sidhu. The ‘tea party’ comes ahead of the cricketer-turned-politician’s inauguration in his new role today.

The cricketer-turned-politician has been an unrelenting critic of Chief Minister Singh and also had the ears of the party’s Central leadership.
