Former Congress leader Navjot Kaur Sidhu has launched a scathing critique of Rahul Gandhi, accusing the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition of being completely “disconnected from ground realities” and failing to address internal corruption in the Punjab unit.

Speaking in Coimbatore, Ms. Sidhu claimed Gandhi’s inaction is “killing Congress in Punjab,” alleging that his inner circle is busy selling election tickets while he remains unaware of the situation.

“Rahul Gandhi talks good. He talks sense. But what he does and what he says is very different. For the past eight months, I have been asking for a time to tell him that your people, your president or your person appointed in Punjab is not doing justice to Punjab. He’s killing Congress in Punjab. I’m just asking you for a seating to tell you that your party is being destroyed in Punjab. They have already sold the tickets,” said Ms. Sidhu.
