Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Tuesday reached the residence of Congress president Sonia Gandhi for a meeting amid infighting within the party's state unit, ahead of the assembly polls due next year. His meeting with Sonia Gandhi comes just days after Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu met Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi in the capital. Meanwhile, reports said that Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra met Sonia Gandhi ahead of the latter's meeting with the Punjab CM. Faulty power purchase agreements (PPAs) "have cost people of Punjab thousands of crores", the Congress leader stressed. But he returned to Chandigarh without an audience with either Sonia Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi.
