Amid the 'tussle' over the talk of appointment of Navjot Singh Sidhu as the new state Congress chief, 'sulking' Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Saturday met state in-charge Harish Rawat and said the meeting was fruitful but he would take up issues that he raised with party President Sonia Gandhi.
