Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh would be attending the first meeting of the NITI Aayog’s Governing Council, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on June 15. The Chief Minister, who returned from vacation in HP, would be leaving for Delhi tomorrow, a day ahead of the NITI Aayog meeting.
Sources in the party said the CM was likely to meet the party leadership, including senior leader Ahmed Patel, in connection with the issue raised by Navjot Singh Sidhu in a meeting with Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi earlier this week.
Though the CM is learnt to have already talked to Patel on the issue and written a letter in this regard after the Lok Sabha elections, the two leaders could meet to solve the issue. On the other hand, Sidhu is yet to take over his new assignment as he is said to be waiting for the outcome of the meeting between the two leaders. Sidhu’s personal staff has already shifted from the Sector 35 office of the Local Bodies Department to his office at fifth floor in the Civil Secretariat.
Issues to be raised In the meeting to be attended by the Finance Minister along with the CM, the leaders are likely to raise the issue of special package for the border state and consideration of agriculture loan waiver at the national level.
