Chandigarh : Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi will hold a meeting with top leaders of the party’s Punjab unit on Wednesday in Delhi to discuss the strategy for the high-stake Assembly polls in the state in 2017.
The meeting will be attended by Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh and state in-charge of the party Asha Kumari, party sources said.
Besides, Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Charanjit Singh Channi and the party’s campaign committee chairperson Ambika Soni will also be there.
The meeting will take place in the backdrop of BJP MP Navjot Singh Sidhu resigning from Rajya Sabha amidst speculation that he, along with his wife, a BJP MLA, may join the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
The Congress, which has twice lost the Punjab Assembly polls to the SAD-BJP combine, is eyeing to wrest power in the state next year.
