Despite infighting, Punjab Congress clearly said no to alliance with the AAP. After Navjot Singh Sidhu held an independent 'Jittega Punjab' rally in Bathinda district and took a dig at the Congress colleagues who called him out, they hit back by calling for his expulsion for "indiscipline, incompetence, self-glorification, and working against the party's interests". The infighting in the party has yet again come to the fore as the party prepares for Lok Sabha elections.
