Lal Singh is Punjab Cong chief
WSN Network

CHANDIGARH: Congress chose the much tainted Lal Singh, at one time a subject of Lok Pal probe for corruption, as its working president for Punjab replacing Mohinder Singh Kaypee till the end of the Lok Sabha elections.

The arrangement was termed temporary in view of the fact that Mohinder Singh Kaypee, the incumbent working chief, is himself contesting from Jalandhar. Interestingly, Lal Singh assumed office as soon as he was informed on phone, admitting that written orders were still awaited. Congress in Punjab does not have a full time president since Rajinder Kaur Bhattal was asked to step down, and a leadership tussle between her and Amarinder Singh has gone on for too long now.

Experts see Lal Singh's elevation as a result of his patching up ties with Amarinder once again.
