Amarinder Singh's bete-noire and PCC president Sidhu, who is eyeing the chief minister's post, however, is unlikely to be a probable choice for the chief minister's replacement, the sources pointed out. Former Punjab unit chief Sunil Jakhar may be considered a probable, they said. Jakhar, who is not an MLA, is believed to be close to the top leadership and is considered a prominent Hindu face of the party.
Congress central leadership believes that Captain Amarinder Singh will respect the decision of the party MLAs in the Congress Legislative Party meeting. Party leaders including Ajay Maken and Harish Chaudhary will also attend the meeting today.
