Rahul Gandhi was questioned if he was meeting Navjot Singh Sidhu, as claimed by the former Punjab minister’s office.
Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi are working towards bringing all Congress leaders, including Sidhu, on a common stage and put forward a unified Congress ahead of polls.

Navjot Singh Sidhu resigned from the Punjab Cabinet after he was stripped of the local bodies portfolio in 2019, he has been at loggerheads with Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.
