Fresh fight in Congress as new Punjab CM takes oath; Jakhar questions Sidhu move

Punjab's new Chief minister took oath on September 20, but instead of ironing out old differences, the move is opening new fissures in the Congress party. Even as Charanjit Singh Channi was being sworn in, senior leader Sunil Jakhar questioned Harish Rawat's announcement that the party would fight elections under the leadership of Navjot Singh Sidhu. The latter's rebellion against Captain Amarinder Singh had led him to resign as the CM. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi attended the oath-taking ceremony. After the event, Channi addressed a press conference where he turned emotional while recounting his impoverished childhood. Watch the full video for more.
