Himachal cross-voting: Sidhu calls for purge in Congress

Chandigarh, Feb 28 (UNI) Slamming the six legislators who voted for the BJP candidate in the Rajya Sabha polls in Himachal Pradesh, Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Wednesday called for a "purge" in the party after an “assessment of assets and liabilities”.
The former Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) President said senior Congress leader and renowned advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi's defeat in the elections to the Upper House of Parliament on Tuesday is not "just his loss but a larger one".
“The Himachal fiasco calls for an assessment of assets and liabilities for The Grand Old Party ??? …. “Masqueraders” on plum posts covertly dancing to the tunes of agencies like CBI, ED and IT have spelt doomsday for us many a times!,” Sidhu posted on X.
