Told Rahul To Expel Sidhu, Jakhar But He Didn’t Listen: Sukhjinder Randhawa

Mumbai: Congress leader and former Deputy CM of Punjab Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Thursday claimed that he had told the Congress leadership, including Rahul Gandhi, in February to expel both Navjot Singh Sidhu and Sunil Jakhar from the party.

He also hit out at former state Congress president Sunil Jakhar, who joined the BJP on Thursday after quitting the Congress and said he had asked the Congress leadership, including Rahul Gandhi, to expel both Sidhu and Sunil Jakhar from the party in February.

He said, “No one can challenge the Supreme Court’s decision The loss Sidhu has caused to Congress party no one can repair. What Congress couldn’t do, SC has done today. In February, I had asked Rahul Gandhi to expel Sidhu and Sunil Jakhar from the party,” Randhawa said.

“The high command does not like that someone tells the truth, I asked them to be removed. He didn’t listen. Today they want to see such a day. What the Congress could not do, today the Supreme Court has done it. Criticizing Sidhu, Randhawa said the party had to pay the price for his words and actions in the assembly elections,” he said.

“What he is doing today, if he had done the same before the elections, we would not have suffered such a loss. Don’t know at whose behest was he causing damage to the Congress party. In my entire political career, I have never got a president who caused so much damage to the party,” he said.

Randhawa termed Jakhar “power-hungry” and added his joining the BJP would not impact the party
