However, on Tuesday, he opted for a special chartered jet to reach Delhi from Chandigarh to meet party leaders.
He was accompanied by his two deputies, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa and OP Soni, and PCC chief Navjot Sidhu. Charanjit Singh Channi had gone to Delhi to meet senior Congress leaders to discuss the implementation of the 18-point agenda and hold talks on the new Cabinet.
