Interestingly, in July this year Congress party chief had overthrown Sunil Jakhar to make Navjot Singh Sidhu the new Punjab Congress Chief.

Sidhu shared news of his resignation as chief of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee on his Twitter account.

“The collapse of a man’s character stems from the compromise corner, I can never compromise on Punjab’s future and the agenda for the welfare of Punjab. Therefore, I hereby resign as the President of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee. Will continue to serve the Congress”, Sidhu's letter read.
