The panel chaired by Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge and comprising AICC general secretary in-charge of Punjab affairs Harish Rawat and former MP JP Aggarwal has suggested accommodating all sections, castes and regions in revamped party unit.

Though no major changes have been recommended at top level, sources said the panel has said that Navjot Singh Sidhu should be ‘suitably accommodated’ in the revamp. Sources said his name is doing the rounds for elevation as deputy chief minister of Punjab.
