Sycophants have a special place in the party and Congress leadership is dependent upon them. This tribe of such people is increasing at a rapid pace in Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shergill said that Congress leadership, not less than the party president Mallikarjun Kharge, should give a clarification.\u00a0 He \u00a0further said that as per media reports, significantly, Channi\u2019s Thesis also mentioned that the tussle between the state units of the Congress is at its peak, adding that local leaders are being weakened, so the state leadership of Punjab should also give clarification on Channi\u2019s Thesis that whether they find weakened with Rahul Gandhi\u2019s ways or not. \u201cWhat Channi is saying is a bitter truth. We congratulate Channi for showing courage and speaking the truth\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Shergill also pointed out that when he resigned from the Congress, he had written in a letter to the then Congress President Sonia Gandhi that \u201csycophancy is eating Congress like termites\u201d. \u201cNow, since the former CM Channi, who was handpicked by none other than Rahul Gandhi, had himself mentioned all this in his Thesis, Kharge owes an immediate explanation\u201d, the BJP spokesperson demanded.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shergill congratulates Channi on speaking the truth about sycophancy in Congress Chandigarh, June 9\u00a0 BJP National Spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill has demanded a clarification from the All India Congress Committee (AICC) President Mallikarjun Kharge on the PhD Thesis of former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, wherein the latter has flagged \u201csycophancy\u201d as the main reason &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3412,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[92,91,56],"tags":[1324,1336,957,329,1337],"class_list":["post-3411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-national","category-politics","tag-bjp-national-spokesperson","tag-chanranjit-channi","tag-indian-national-congress","tag-punjab-congress","tag-rahul-gandhi-jaiveer-shergill"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
