Chandigarh : Former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, who celebrated his birthday with his core supporters at his ancestral house in Dochi village in Shimla yesterday, is set to meet Congress high command Sonia Gandhi on March 14.
Though Capt Amarinder Singh could not be contacted, one of his loyalists said the former Pradesh Congress president would call on the Congress president in Delhi.
He claimed that Amarinder Singh would not demand any particular post as he had left it entirely to the party high command to “adjust” him in the party.
There is a feeling that the PCC president is not keen on a gubernatorial post.
Sources said the former PPCC chief’s birthday party was attended by five legislators, close supporters and party general secretary Fatehjang Bajwa, brother of PPCC president Partap Singh Bajwa.
Legislators Kewal Dhillon and Rana Gurmeet Singh Sodhi, reportedly skipped Governor’s Address to be with their “boss” on his birthday.
Legislators Arvind Khanna and Rana Gurjit Singh flew to Shimla by a helicopter to be with the former Chief Minister.
Both had to return early due to flying restrictions. Talwandi Sabo legislator Jeet Mohinder Sidhu drove up to Dochi.
Former legislator Kushaldeep Dhillon was also at the party. Jeet Mohinder, when questioned on the presence of the five legislators, said it was a private party that should not be viewed as a political gathering.
Meanwhile, during the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting at the Vidhan Sabha here today, former minister Jagmohan Singh Kang, while welcoming Partap Singh Bajwa’s appointment as PPCC chief, reportedly proposed that the CLP put the services rendered by Amarinder Singh on record. There was a stunned silence. Kang then asked if anyone had an objection.
At this juncture, CLP Leader Sunil Jakhar backed the suggestion. The PCC president, who was present in the meeting, seconded the proposal.
