A day after former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi junked the reports of his scheduled meeting with Navjot Sidhu, they both held the meeting in New Delhi today.

Cricketer-turned-politician who is engulfed in a longstanding feud with the Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh wanted to meet Rahul to press for his demands. For the meeting, Sidhu went to Rahul’s residence in Delhi after meeting Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

The meeting between Priyanka and Sidhu lasted for over 3 hours in which issues related to Punjab Congress were discussed extensively.

Notably, Navjot Sidhu’s secret meeting with Priyanka has triggered a lot of speculations and it also signifies there are differences in the Gandhi family as on one side Rahul voiced for ‘no meeting’ and on the other hand, Priyanka met him.
