The minute-by-minute changing political developments began at around 11:42 pm on Friday night when Punjab Congress in-charge Harish Rawat tweeted about the decision to hold an immediate CLP meeting on Saturday. After about 10 minutes, state party president Navjot Sidhu directed all the MLAs to be present in the CLP meeting. Rawat's announcement is being seen as a signal from the high command to appoint a new office-bearer, under whose leadership the party will go to the assembly elections to be held in March 2022.Kudos to Sh @RahulGandhi for adopting Alexandrian solution to this punjabi version of Gordian knot. Surprisingly, this bold leadership decision to resolve Punjab Congress imbroglio has not only enthralled congress workers but has sent shudders down the spines of Akalis.
