Soon after joining the party Sidhu Moosewala met Rahul Gandhi as well.
Now it will be interesting to see what other parties will do to counter Congress’ move as Sidhu has a huge fan following and most of them are youngsters. By having Sidhu in the party Congress has tried to lure youth voters. Let’s see if they succeed in it or not.
